In 1944, after the Normandy landing, the Nazi German army suffered a series of heavy losses on the Western Front. By the end of 1944, the war situation between the German and Allied forces took a subtle turn. The Allied forces were advancing steadily but were already exhausted. The German army was retreating step by step but its elite troops still remained. Hitler was like a trapped animal, eager to get out of trouble and reverse the situation on the Western Front. He firmly believed that "offense is the best defense." If he concentrated all his forces to launch a bold raid and captured Antwerp, he could tear apart the dividing line between the British and American troops and create a new "Dunkirk" crisis. Most German generals questioned this plan. In the absence of equipment and insufficient troops, can such a "gamble" investment lead to victory in one battle? They seemed desperate to see the Soviet Red Army advancing from the Eastern Front into their homeland of Berlin. Another part of the Nazi SS who were loyal to Hitler hoped that this desperate counterattack would lead to the "Nirvana rebirth" of the German Empire. A large number of new weapons and advanced tanks were sent to the battlefield. The fierce collision of iron and blood ignited the Ardennes covered in ice and snow. The Allied forces were under siege by two German armies. Belgian civilians, fearing retaliation from the Germans, fled their homes in a hurry. Even Paris felt panic.
