Question 2 • Contemporary Studies

How were Allied troops able to defeat the German advance at the Battle of the Bulge?

Answer
A
Attacks by Patton on one side combined with attacks by Montgomery on the other.
B
Constant reinforcements by ship and effective air support helped Allied forces.
C
Low German supplies and local resistance strongly supported Allied forces.
D
Large numbers of soldiers in Bradley’s army forced the Germans to surrender.

Explanation

The Allies stopped the German advance by striking the Bulge from both sides. General Patton’s forces attacked from the south, while Montgomery’s forces pressed from the north, putting German troops under pressure and helping force them back. This makes D, attacks by Patton on one side combined with attacks by Montgomery on the other, the best answer.
