The Battle of the Bulge 

Which is your favorite "David vs. Goliath" battle?

“Sir we are surrounded” “Great that means we can fire in any direction”

“They want to surrender?” “No sir they want us to surrender” “NUTS”

German Commander: "You're surrounded; surrender or get rekt." American Commander: "No u."

My grandfather fought in this battle. He was part of Patton's 3rd army and was in a tank destroyer. He was the person who aimed the tank destroyer's turret and also manned the machine gun. He told my dad about a time where he was checking a destroyed German tank and saw the charred bodies of young Germans.

My grandfather was in the first infantry division, of the US army during the battle. At some point during the battle, he actually caught German artillery that badly damaged both of his legs, and the pain was excruciating enough to make him pass out, but it was the extremely bitter cold weather than actually kept him alive, because his wounds actually froze shut. He was missing in action for three days as a result of this, it was only after they started looking at those alive and those who weren’t after the battle ended in that section that they discovered him. He ended up spending nine months in a military hospital in the United Kingdom, and then another year and a half at one in Texas. I actually still have the letters that were sent from the department of war at the time, to his mother. And the letter that stated he was found and badly injured. He ended up finding his wife (my grandmother) while he was hitchhiking home, and they were married for for a little over 50 years before she died, with my grandfather finally passing at 90 in 2016.

The real battle of the bulge is when it’s your turn to present your project.

“Sir they want surrender.” “They want to surrender?” “No Sir they want us to surrender.” “Nuts!”

So basically some madlads had a fight

My great grandfather was in the battle of the bulge and d-day

“To The German Commander” NUTS “The American Commander. -General mcauliffe 1945

Me: hey I’m gonna be doing a presentation on- My blood cells: TROOPS! ADVANCE!

My great grandpa was in that battle it’s great to know what my grandpa had been through and how brave he is I respect all American and allied soldiers today and back then.

"as well as the fall of one of the most murderous regimes" Stalin: hold my beer

The 101st are some of the greatest soldiers of all time. Check out Band of Brothers to see their amazing story.

"Your'e about to get surrounded" "We're paratroopers,we're supposed to get surrounded"

This had to be one of your best done vids, like I can really tell there was a lot of work that went into this one

To the german commander *NUTS* The American commander

I truly understand why they are called as the greatest generation. We should learn from their determination and courage. A big salute to the shields who guarded the realm. For the glorious independence and democracy.

"WE DEFEATED THE WRONG ENEMY!" They killed Patton for speaking the truth

7:11 looks like he's battling his own bulge.

Fought one of those battles everyday in my hot English teacher's class.

pretty sure polish flag is white on the top and red in the bottom but ok

I feel like 80% of the people that watch this video just go straight to the comments and barely even pay attention to the video.

This story best told in the Longest Winter by Alex Kershaw in amazing detail of Lyle Bouck and his 17 other soldiers who bravely kept the Germans at bay giving the Americans enough time to reach a safe line of defense. They spent the rest of the war in POW camps starving to death and disfigured from their wounds. America only recognized them 30 whole years later with no one. receiving the Medal of Honor. These men deserved more than this.

5:13 this was in 1945. A black man didn’t command whites. Black were segregated. They had their own platoons.

Mentions the Luftwaffe, *shows a American Bomber*

My grandfather on my mom's side was in this battle. He marched along side the tanks with a bazooka disabling and enemy artillery he could before being blown off the side of a tank. He was thought dead after being partially frozen from the waist down.

Can we take a moment and understand that this is one of the BEST made infographics show clip produced? they basically lumped so many facts and recounts altogether. my cheers and salutes. and on behalf of everyone thats tuning in, welcome to the infographics show.

2:03 *notices Poland’s flag is upside down* “Well my Polish friend is triggered” *Forever lasting screams in the background*

Japan: I’m bombed the US Germany: Why!!!! Did you do it!!! Italy: yeah japan your a drag!!! Now we lost!!

The 101st still says that they never needed rescuing. Edit: I didn’t know MP 40s and M1928s were semi-auto too!

My Grandfather was wounded in Battle of the Bulge. Took a bullet to the hip. Was a POW until late March. A few years later he marries my Grandma who is partly German. At his 50th POW reunion he stayed with a local German couple and invited them to visit us in Oregon (a few years later they did).

*girl glances at me for .002 seconds* “Battle of the bulge is a go”

This is an awesome video. My grandfather fought in this battle along with 4 other major battles. He never spoke of any of it besides how cold it was. He was one of the best men I have ever met! Thanks for the video.

Germans: lvl 99 Allied Troops: lvl 13 Big Chungus: lvl 100

At the battle of Lanzarath, the I&R platoon was in the woods across from the village. They were trying to remain hidden but a little girl in the village ran out and stopped the passing Germans and was seen pointing in the direction of the Americans. That's how the Germans found them. Amazingly, no American was killed. They held the Germans up all day before being captured. That night while being captured , Lt. Bouck turned 21 years old. For their heroism, they became the most decorated platoon of WW2. I HIGHLY recommend reading "The Longest Winter", It is their story.

i was gonna say "OWO WHATS THIS *notices bulge battle*" but it turns out everyone was saying it... so.. i lost all purpose in living! yay

Germany: surrender or be annihilated Allies: hold my beer

This’s one of the most amazing battles in history.

My grandfather served in WW2 in the western front. He wasn't there on D-Day, but he got there around Operation Cobra. Then a Panzerschrek (if thats how you spell it) blew up the half-track he was riding in and was the only serviver. He was hospitalized in France for a week and was about to be honerably discharged, but he refused and was redeployed a day before the battle of the bulge. And fought in the battle of the bulge in Belgium. And fought some more in Germany and earned a Purple Heart, and a Medal of Honor ( I still have those). He sold his M1 Garand and german SMGs to a muesam during the 60's (dum move bro). He and his 4 brothers all came home. He was in the Army with Patton as his General.

the thumbnail is very accurate to the war

My grandfather on my dads side fought in the Battle of the Bulge with the 101st Airborne. He almost lost toes from frostbite.

*formidable* French Maginot Line *laughs in baguette*

im always astounded again when I hear the number of forces that some countries had...logistics and all the planning and coordinating...astounding.

More like battle of the OWO

You used a Indonesia Flag instead of a Poland flag, weird flex but ok

I had my gigantic bulge in the Guiness Book of Records... The librarian asked me to pull it out

Infographics show: Bears attack germany Putin: wait thats illegal

My great grandfather was a soldier of the US Army driving tanks in the Battle of the Bulge. I have just recently figured all this out so I wanted to do more research on the war

3:02 Lvl-99 mafia boss That’s how mafia works

My great grandpa John was there. I was told he was an important soldier at that battle. I don't know what he did exactly. He didn't talk about the war much. He survived to 1998 and I was 12. He was a decorated American hero and a wonderful man.

I didnt know troops had M4's in 1944... Edit: They changed the Thumbnail now

I thought it was an OVERSIMPLIFIED joke. My life is now differeent

Came here to check the comments. Wasn't disappointed

Who else loves the way they make their art

When Patton "saved" the 101st airborne. The men of the Screaming Eagles stated that they didn't need saving.

What's with the background music? I want a dramatic or a war music, not some song from a store

Basically, the entire German offensive was stopped by blowing up bridges and denying Germans the access to US fuel-dumps. It says a lot about the state of German army when soldiers carried tubes for siphoning the fuel from knocked-out vehicles

My great uncle was in the battle of the bulge, he survived and he is still alive at around 96 years old

Great video!! Thank you for continuing to make awsome content!

I really appreciate the fact they show the swastikas and show the real symbol and facts whereas games and media and movies are too scared to do the same in fear of backlash... keep it up guys! Loving the content :)

This is one of those stories that really makes me proud to be American

3:00 that dead memes tho

My great grandpa was an artillery commander and his unit pushed forward so fast that the tractors pulling the 155mm howitzer lost most if not all of their spare bogeys. Also when he jumped out of his jeep to direct the positions of the guns he only 1 of his 4 howitzers.

Annoyed period correct weapons weren't represented in the thumbnail

2:01 why is there monako flag?

Thanks infographics for informing us so much history!

0:15 Italian Front: Am I a Joke to You??

My Great Grandfather fought and survived the Battle of the Bulge. I wish I had his journal- imagine the stories...

I went to Bastogne this last summer and it was so neat and interesting learning about how the 101st held out against the German Army and at a little park in the middle of the town there is a Sherman tank there that you can check out

The Polish flag is upside down..... 😅🇵🇱

My grandpa was wounded in the battle of the bulge but survived

my grandpa told me about this battle a few times when I was a kid. sounded so insane

“Battle of the bulge” Sounds like the conversations in the boys locker room

What don't you guys make a video on Battle of Saragahri 21 soldiers vs 10,000 invaders

By the end of 1944 Germany could never have stopped the Soviet advance.

Whoever denied those 22 soldiers a retreat should have been imprisoned for life. Easy for you to say when youre sitting behind lines safely. Unbelievable bravery i would have wanted to flee for sure

My grandfather fought in this battle. At one point he looked over & saw his best friend's head rolling down a hill.

I just stumbled on one of your videos ... that was like five videos ago. I've never been more interested in history in my life! This is amazing.

2:02 Wait that’s not Poland,that’s Monaco or Indonesia

Tigers in 39 Nice

*notices bulge* OwO

My grandpa was in WWII and got frostbite on his feet while in a foxhole and was sent to a hospital in France right before the Battle of the Bulge happened and fortunately missed it.

This is the only history channel that doesn't bore me. Keep it ul InfoGraphics❤🇮🇩

Beginning : YES ACCURATE MODELS Later : Nevermind.

I commented about the "nuts" response under the video about big historical quotes

Half off to you! That was a great video!!! Loved it more then the others. And the time lenth was perfect because it didn't get boring!

My grandfather died in this battle. Allies. RIP Jack Shaffer.

So much Respect to Easy Company & all other Vets at the battle. So much respect.

remember to not forget to press aimbot for those raw recruitz

Wait...the title sounds very familiar... Oh that’s right it was the second last mission in call of duty ww2

‘ In the south the 7th army pushed into Luxembourg.’ *Shows Dutch flag*

Germans: We have decided to take on the 101st Airborne who are cold, hungry, dangerously low on ammo, and have depleted numbers from previous heavy fighting on the front and are waiting in the rear for their unit to be reinforced and resupplied. Perfect! They shall crumble like putty in our hands! We have you surrounded! SURRENDER NOW OR DIE! 101st: NUTS. Germans: *Confused screaming* ----------------------------------------------------- Germans: 22 men vs an entire army. what could go wrong? Americans: Everything.

The episode of 'Band of Brothers' that covers this battle is amazing. 1 of the best out of the whole series imo.

You know more people used M1 Garands and Kar98ks than the thompson and MP40

What would happen if Austria Hungry colonized Myanmar in 1883 before Britain, Afganistan, Kenya, Gabon, Benin, and Botswana? What would ww1 be like? Would they be wealthier, and will it improve the military? Can this be a video?

Infographies show do one about the battle of midway

I hate the Battle of the Bulge. I re-live it everyday. During my morning bathroom break.

Who else played battle of the bulge on call of duty ww2
