In the frozen forests of the Ardennes, December 1944, Hitler launched his last great gamble — a thunderous offensive that would shake the Allied forces to their core and go down in history as the Battle of the Bulge. Issue 38 of Images of War: The Real Story of World War II chronicles this pivotal campaign in gripping detail, covering the background of the Last Blitzkrieg, the desperate Allied strategy of Antwerp or Bust!, and the brutal fighting that raged from December 1944 through to February 1945. Presented as a comprehensive collector's package, this issue includes a magazine, an original wartime newspaper, and a detailed campaign map, immersing the reader directly into the chaos and heroism of the Western Front. Published in association with the Imperial War Museum, the Images of War series is renowned for its meticulous use of archival photography, primary source documents, and authoritative historical narrative. This instalment illustrates the extraordinary human cost of one of the largest land battles fought by the United States in World War II, placing the reader alongside General Patton's Third Army as it raced northward to relieve the besieged garrison at Bastogne. With its unique combination of editorial depth and original artefacts, this is an indispensable addition to any serious collection of Second World War history — leaving the unanswered question of just how close the Axis powers came to turning the tide.
