The Luftwaffe (German Air Force) was not idle over the skies of Belgium, with fighter-bombers attacking targets of opportunity. However, it was also the debut of the world’s first operational jet fighter: the Me 262. The ground attack version, the Me 262 A2a Sturmvogel (Storm Bird), was armed with two 30mm cannons and a pair of 500kg (1100lb) bombs. Its excellent speed of 540mph (870km/h) meant that it could outrun any Allied fighter, making it near impossible to catch.

Bulge: German
In early December 1944 it seemed to the Americans in the Ardennes forests to be unlikely that the Germans would attack. On 16 December that illusion was shattered when the might of German Sixth Panzer Army smashed into the thinly-held US lines. The Germans led the assault with elite units of 1. SS Panzerdivision, 2. Panzerdivision and Panzer Lehr. More was to come. On 31 December Hitler launched the last German offensive in the west, Operation Nordwind. German divisions along the Lorraine front attacked into the old French Maginot Line where the Americans had dug in. With many of their reserves sent north to face the Ardennes offensive, the Americans were taken by surprise.
