Interactive Exhibit: Battle of the Bulge
December 1944, Allied intelligence has informed all units that the Germans do not posses the manpower or
materiel to launch a significant attack in the Belgium/Luxembourg sector. Furthermore, this winter has
been as bad as any recorded in history. You can expect to see another Christmas. Just then, the Germans
launch a heavy artillery barrage followed by advancing Panzers and infantry. The Ardennes Offensive has
begun and you’re right in the middle of it. Panic overtakes the front line. The Americans are in full
retreat. You find yourself surrounded by elements of the invading forces, but stand fast to witness the
heroic defense of the line. As Christmas comes to the frontlines, the German Offensive begins to fail.
You’ll be advancing once again – this time, into Germany.
