The Battle of the Bulge, fought in the snows of the Ardennes forests in December 1944 to January 1945 to stem the final German land offensive of the war, was the greatest land battle waged by the US Army in the 20th century. Both popular belief and official history ascribe this victory to the Americans. For political reasons no mention was ever made of the crucial British involvement in this battle, when the XXXth Corps fought a decisive action and halted the German drive to the River Meuse - but against a total news blackout and at the cost of 2500 British troops. The British role in the Battle of the Bulge simply does not exist on paper. The main reason for adopting a low key in referring to the British contribution was political said Field Marshall Brooke, Chief of the Imperial Staff, years later.
