Conclusion
The Ardennes Campaign was crucial to ending the war in Europe. American and Allied Forces had met and defeated an exceptionally large number of the enemy, both in the air and on the ground. Germany's last great offensive had failed. The road now led to victory and Germany's unconditional surrender on May 7, 1945.
