The Battle of the Bulge
The story of one of WWII's most crucial battles, the Battle of the Bulge.
In the dead of winter, 1944, the frozen forest of Ardennes erupted in chaos. In a desperate, last-ditch attempt to turn the tide of the war, Hitler threw his armoured divisions at the thinly spread Allied frontline. The battle that followed was the bloodiest fought by the Americans in the war, and their determined defence ultimately sealed the fate of Nazi Germany.
Dan is joined by Professor John C. McManus. They delve into this fierce German winter offensive in terms of its strategic significance, and the tenacity of the American soldiers that thwarted Hitler's plans.
