If anyone has any information on '44-'45 Ardenne (Bulge) or Belgium, this would come as much help to my newest novel. Thanks alot!

Not to be mean but, the Ardennes is probably one of the most, if not the most, documented battles in history. There are literally hundreds of books on the subject covering every aspect of the battle in excrutiating detail.
Help yourself to a few. You will likely get whatever details you need in short order.

Be wary of Veteran's recollections, most saw little beyond their foxhole and often had no idea of the overall picture.

Us them for "The feel of the Battle".

Read a History from a respectable Historian to see how it all fitted together.
