Allied troops were able to defeat the German advance at the Battle of the Bulge because low German supplies and local resistance strongly supported Allied forces.

Explanation:

The Battle of the Bulge was a great German offensive, launched at the end of the Second World War, from December 16, 1944 to 25 January 1945, through the dense forests and mountains of the Ardennes region (located partially in Belgium, France and Luxembourg) on the Western Front.

The offensive was planned with the greatest of secrets, minimizing radio traffic and moving troops and equipment under the cover of darkness. Although Ultra suggested a possible attack and the Third Army intelligence personnel predicted a major German offensive, the Allies were taken by surprise. This occurred in part because of an allied over-confidence, concern with their own offensive plans and poor aerial reconnaissance.

The almost complete surprise against a weakly defended section of the allied line was achieved thanks to an intensely cloudy weather, which left the allied air forces, overwhelmingly superior, innactive in the ground. A fierce resistance, particularly around the key city of Bastogne, and a terrain that favored the defenders delayed the German forecasts. Allied reinforcements, including General Patton's Third Army, and the best weather conditions - which allowed air strikes on German forces and their supply lines - sealed the failure of the offensive.
