The casualty rate was actually really low. The Americans and Anglos utterly wrecked the Germans. The one sided nature of that battle really doesn't get emphasized enough.

Then why did it take 11 months to reach the Elbe?

1. No they didn't, try 3 million.
2. At the cost of over a million causalties and the utter strategic ruination and over extension of their army. I wonder why the Americans didn't do that.

Battle of the Bulge
