Battle Of The Bulge Significance

To come up with
the divisions he needed to launch this offensive, Hitler turned to his last reserves of
manpower:  the old, the young, and those previously deemed unfit for military service.  He tried
to season this army with battle-hardened SS tank units from the Eastern Front.  If that gamble
didn't work, Germany would be naked to an Allied offensive, which is exactly what
happened.

So the significance of the Battle of the Bulge was that Germany's
defeat and the end of the war in Europe came sooner, and at a lower cost in Allied lives than it
would have otherwise.
