The Battle of the Bulge, also known as the Battle of the Ardennes, was a major WWII battle for the liberation of Europe. As the allies were pushing hard towards Berlin, the Germans conter-attacked. They crossed the advancing allied lines, creating a bulge. The Germans encountered resistance by the Americans at the town of Bastogne, in Belgium. The Germans asked the Americans to surrender, getting as answer a single word, 'nuts.' They must have taken that as a serious offense because they brought hell to the American troop in Bastogne, which resisted until the American army led by Patton (who else) came kicking butts to the rescue.
