Footnotes

¹ This offensive has several other names, including (erroneously) Von Rundstedt Offensive (in reality von Rundstedt had little to do with it) and, officially to the U.S. Army, as the Ardennes-Alsace Campaign. Several historical works (notably David Eggenberger's Encyclopedia of Battles) also describe this battle as the Second Battle of the Ardennes.
