when the surprise attack on the ardennes took place on 16 december 1944, starting the battle of the bulge, the front of the us 12th army group was split, with the bulk of the us first army being on the northern shoulder of the german 'bulge'. the 12th army group commander, general omar bradley, was located south of the penetration at luxembourg and command of the us first army became problematic. montgomery was the nearest commander on the ground and on 20 december, eisenhower (who was in versailles in france) temporarily transferred courtney hodges' us first army and william simpson's us ninth army to montgomery's 21st army group until the "bulge" could be reduced and a simpler line of communications restored, despite bradley's vehement objections on national grounds.
