By Christmas day, the Ardennes offensive was stalling near Celles. Bastogne was still encircled, but Millikin’s III Corps was moving up to try to break the siege. As the assault of the 15th Panzergrenadier Division had been thrown back at Champs, and C-47s were now dropping supplies to the “Battlin’ Bastards of Bastogne”, the Screaming Eagles and the rest of the Bastogne garrison felt renewed hope. However, the going was getting more difficult for the 4th Armored Division’s Combat Command R as they attempted to break through the German perimeter.

The Battle of the Bulge, also known as the Ardennes Counteroffensive, was the last major German offensive campaign on the Western Front during World War II, and took place from 16 December 1944 to 25 January 1945. It was launched through the densely forested Ardennes region of Wallonia in eastern Belgium, northeast France, and Luxembourg, towards the end of the war in Europe. The offensive was intended to stop Allied use of the Belgian port of Antwerp and to split the Allied lines, allowing the Germans to encircle and destroy four Allied armies and force the Western Allies to negotiate a peace treaty in the Axis powers' favor.
