The Germans had taken so many tanks and other armored vehicles from other zones of battle, which were ultimately lost in the Battle of the Bulge. There was no hope of ever replacing these vehicles and manpower that was lost. They could have been used in a fighting retreat that would have cost many more Allied lives and additional months of battle.
They were both the axis powers last gambles to stop and destroy the advancing allied forces but were defeated the Japanese lost the rest of their carriers and lost some of their best battleships and cruisers. The Germans lost many of their best tanks and crews in Bulge.
It is believed that close to 600,000 Americans fought in the Battle of the Bulge.
At 6pm on the evening of 19 July 1916, the battle that began between Australian and German troops was the Battle of Fromelles. Lasting overnight, this battle came to be known as Australia's "worst day in history". British troops were also involved. A few sections of the German trenches were captured by the 8th and 14th Australian Brigades, but this was insufficient to turn the tide of the battle. The 5th Australian Division suffered a total of 5,533 casualties, including over 1900 deaths, while the 61st British Division suffered 1,547 casualties, whilst the Germans lost the fewest troops - 1,000.
AnswerOf the roughly 300,000 German troops at Stalingrad 50,000 were brushed aside during the Soviet encirclement of Stalingrad. Another 30,000 were evacuated by the Luftwaffe at the few airfields the Germans still held. When the Germans finally capitulated approximately 90,000 were taken prisoner, therefore around 130,000 Germans were killed at Stalingrad.
America lost 80,000 troops and 700 tanks Germany lost 100,000 troops and 700 tanks

The Battle of the Bulge (officially known as the Ardennes Offensive) was the last major Nazi offensive of World War II. The attack began on December 16, 1944 to try and beak up the alliance between Britain, France and America in western Europe. The battle was a last ditch attempt by the Nazis to split up the allied offense towards Germany. The Allies were caught off guard by the attack and there was a bulge created in the Allied front line. (Which is how the battle got its popular name.) But the German's initial success lasted only two days. By December 23rd the Americans had started their counter-attack. On Christmas Eve the Allies were attacked by the first ever attack by jet bombers. But by mid-January 1945 the Germans, running out of fuel, just had to abandon their vehicles. The Battle of the Bulge was the largest battle of the war with 600,000 US troops engaged in the battle. There were 81,000 American troops lost and 100,000 German casualties.
Germany lost. American won. End of story.
The British lost the Somme, because they had many more casualties the Germans did. The main reason for this is because the British artillery did not wipe out German defenses especially the barbed wire. So, when the British tried to advance the barb wire was still in place and the British were mowed down by the German machine guns.
There were 23,218 US personnel missing or known captured during the Bulge. I do not believe that any comprehensive roster of these has ever been compiled.
