Fall Asleep To | The Complete History of U.S. Infantry in the Battle of the Bulge | WW2 Relaxing War Documentary The cold arrived before the orders did. In December 1944, the forests of the Ardennes became the center of the largest land battle ever fought by the United States Army. What began as a quiet sector — a place for rest and refitting — became a frozen battlefield where visibility vanished, supply lines broke down, and infantry units were forced to fight in isolation. This documentary presents the complete history of U.S. infantry in the Battle of the Bulge, told from the ground level where the battle was first felt and longest endured. When the German offensive erupted, American infantry units found themselves stretched thin across miles of forest and villages. Many formations were understrength, newly arrived, or recovering from earlier campaigns. Communications failed. Roads clogged. Artillery support was inconsistent. In many areas, the concept of a continuous front line disappeared entirely. What followed was not a battle of sweeping maneuvers, but one of endurance. Infantry platoons and companies held road junctions, villages, and wooded ridges long after they had been bypassed. Small units delayed armored columns through stubborn resistance rather than decisive victory. Every hour gained mattered. Every roadblock disrupted the timetable of an offensive that could not afford delay. The documentary explores how American infantry adapted to extreme winter conditions — inadequate cold-weather gear, limited medical evacuation, and constant fatigue. Frostbite, trench foot, and exhaustion became as dangerous as enemy fire. Yet positions were held, often without clear knowledge of the broader situation. From the initial shock of the offensive through the containment of the advance and the eventual counterattack, this film examines how infantry resistance shaped the outcome of the battle. It highlights not only famous locations such as Bastogne and St. Vith, but also the countless unnamed forests, villages, and crossroads where the battle was slowed and ultimately broken. Presented in a calm, reflective tone, this long-form documentary avoids dramatization and graphic detail. It is designed for extended listening, quiet study, or late-night viewing — focusing on understanding how endurance, delay, and discipline at the infantry level determined the outcome of a strategic crisis. Settle in and return to the frozen forests of the Ardennes.
