The Germans mount a series of counter-attacks on the Western front allowing them to re-cross the borders of Luxembourg and Belgium.
in December 1944 (...) Hitler mounted his last offensive of the war in the snowy, densely forested Ardennes region of Belgium, France and Luxembourg.
Allied forces, which had been moving toward Germany after the D-Day invasion of France, were caught unaware by the counteroffensive and were initially pushed back.
Hitler had hoped to defeat the British and Americans there so he could concentrate on fighting the Soviet Union on the eastern front.
