On December 16, 1944, German forces launched a major offensive through the Ardennes. They hoped to break through Allied positions and split the Allied armies. The advance pushed a large bulge into the front line, giving the battle its familiar name.

American resistance at important road junctions, including St. Vith and Bastogne, disrupted the advance. At Bastogne, the 101st Airborne Division and other American units defended the surrounded town. Meanwhile, General George S. Patton’s Third Army turned north and fought to relieve it.

Build a Display That Tells a Story

Start with a simple arrangement that gives each soldier room to stand out. Then, using pieces from your own collection, add a snow-covered road, a wooded position, or a damaged village wall. Small details can help suggest the setting without overwhelming the figures.

For a related WWII armor addition, consider the COBI StuG III Ausf. G Assault Gun Set #2676. That vehicle is a larger 1:28-scale model, so treat it as a companion collectible when planning a display rather than an exact scale match.
