The Battle of the Bulge was a major World War II battle fought in December 1944 and January 1945. It was the last major German offensive campaign on the Western Front during the war and was named after the bulge in the Allied line that the Germans created. The term 'DIET' is related to the Battle of the Bulge as it was a period of extreme deprivation for the Allied forces, who were cut off from their supply lines and had to survive on meager rations.
