On Dec. 16, 1944, the Nazis launch a counteroffensive in the Ardennes Forest in Belgium and Luxembourg. This Battle of the Bulge (as it came to be known) catches the Allies by surprise. By March 1945, however, the Allies have dropped more bombs on Germany than in the preceding three years; and ground troops cross the Rhine. In the Pacific, the Marines are locked in a ferocious battle with the Japanese on Iwo Jima.

About This Guide
This episode guide brings together the episode runtime, synopsis, series context, and nearby episode navigation for The War. That gives readers and search engines a clearer relationship between the episode and the parent series instead of treating the page as an isolated record.
Editorial Take
The Ghost Front: December 1944 - March 1945 is presented as an episode-level guide that still keeps the parent series context visible, which is important because isolated episode pages can otherwise feel detached and thin. This episode sits at position 6 out of 7, so the page can answer both the runtime question and the progress question at the same time. The 2h runtime is especially useful here because episode search intent is often much more time-sensitive than general series search intent.
