Detailed explanation-1: -The Battle of the Bulge marked the last German offense on the Western Front.

Less than four months after the end of the Battle of the Bulge, Germany surrendered to Allied forces.
Detailed explanation-2: -The Battle of the Bulge was the last major German military offensive in western Europe.

During the fighting, captured American soldiers and Belgian prisoners were murdered by Waffen SS units.

By January 13, 1945, the Allies had fully repelled the German attack and ironed out the bulge on the Western front.
