British Prime Minister Winston Churchill arrived in Washington,
D.C.
for a series of meetings with President Franklin Delano
Roosevelt
on a unified Anglo-American war strategy and a
future peace.

Now that the United States was directly involved in both the
Pacific and European wars, it was incumbent upon both Great
Britain and America to create and project a unified front.

Toward that end, Churchill and Roosevelt created a combined
general staff to coordinate military strategy against both
Germany and Japan and to draft a future joint invasion of the
Continent.

WW2 Pictures of the Battle of the Bulge

On December 16, 1944, the Germans launch the last major
offensive of
the war, Operation Autumn Mist, also known
as the Ardennes Offensive and the
Battle of the Bulge, an
attempt to push the Allied front line west from northern
France to northwestern Belgium. The Battle of the Bulge,
so-called because the Germans created a “bulge” around
the area of the Ardennes forest in pushing through the
American defensive line, was the largest fought on the
Western front.
