What major war included the Battle of the Bulge?
Correct answer: World War II

lulu53
My father was in an engineer unit and fought in that battle. He would never talk about it to us kids. My uncle said that Dad fought in some hellish battles. I believe Dad suffered PTSD. Unfortunately there was no treatment so many men self medicated with alcohol. Eventually, with the help of God, Dad escaped that nightmare.

My great grandfather was a WWll vet he was in Battle Of The Bulge. Saving Private Ryan the movie wanted him in there because he was one of the 15 who survived. he had never been so scared and he lived to be 92 died 2015 of Prostate cancer was one of the hardest days of my life but what a real hero he was an to the rest of the WWll heros!

jimmyhoward3535, My father was an Army medic during this battle. Without these heroic soldiers we would all be speaking German.

My father fought in the Battle of the Bulge was captured and held in Stalag 9-b. If you are into historical events please look up that prison camp. It was the second worst prison camp in Germany for Allied prisoners. My dad was starved to within an inch of his life.

my grandfather who was 82nd airborne and 307 engineers was there.

Thank you to all that served. Without the brave men we wouldn’t be the greatest nation. Remember to thank a vet!

My Uncle Jack was in the Battle of the Bulge. He, like my father, didn’t talk about the war much. I do know that his unit was more or less wiped out and he somehow survived hiding, and wounded in the forest until the German’s moved on.

lulu53, my dad also fought in WWII but I think he was wounded and sent home be for e the battle of the bulge. I also believe he had PTSD. He would never talk about the things that happened either. I learned through books, movies, (“Saving Private Ryan “ actually has a scene in it that was one of the few stories he told us .)

lulu53, May ALLAH reward him and all of those men and woman for their bravery, unselfish nature and courage. I Thank the many men and women who sacrifice their lives for a country who could care less for their wellbeing after the dirty deeds are done.

My uncle armed a bazooka then and lived to tell about it.

My Dad fought there also. So many of those soldiers were murdered. He was captured and was listed as POW/MIA. He was 6' tall and weighed less than 100lbs when he was found. Those men were amazing! PTSD had to be affecting him. How he managed to raise me and my two brothers is truly miraculous.

lulu53, my dad also fought in the Battle of the Bulge. Your response gave me shivers down my spine as it almost exactly mirrored my input.

Mombeast
My dad fought this battle at the age of 23. He eventually told us how cold it was and how the Germans cut off their supply lines, stranding them.
