Two offensive operations undertaken by Germany in Ardennes at the beginning and at the end of the WWII in Europe were conceived and executed under very different conditions and resulted in a totally opposite outcome.

The outcome of both actions was pre-determined by the preceding political, military and economic events. The leadership on both sides played an important role as well. Overall, it is safe to ...
