The Battle of the Bulge, as seen from Allied headquarters.
This map was produced for General Omar Bradley’s 12th U.S. Army Group and shows the situation on the Western Front at 1200 hours on Christmas Day, 1944 — during the height of the Battle of the Bulge.
It captures the shifting front lines of one of the most dramatic battles of the Second World War, when German forces launched their surprise counteroffensive through the Ardennes in a desperate bid to split the Allied armies. The map reflects how the situation appeared to Allied command at the time — a snapshot of uncertainty, coordination, and determination under immense pressure.
This facsimile preserves the clarity, markings, and field annotations of the original headquarters issue map, allowing historians and collectors to see the war as commanders once did.
