Part 3 Battle of the Bulge

The Battle of the Bulge, one of the bloodiest Second World War campaigns. German forces aimed to split the British and American Allied line in half, capture Antwerp in Belgium and destroy four armies, forcing the negotiation of a peace treaty in the Axis' favour. It was Hitler's boldest move. The Axis of Evil creates an 85-mile “bulge” along the Western front that extends from the North Sea down to Switzerland. Hitler's mission is to drive a wedge between the Allied armies in the north and south, retake the seaport city of Antwerp and claim victory. The Americans not only fight the Germans but the weather – minus 20 degrees Fahrenheit. In some places, the snow is knee deep. Foxholes become frozen tombs and frostbite takes 15,000 men off the line. After six weeks of hellish combat, the battle pulverizes Hitler's forces on the Western Front and aids the Allies in winning the war. Relive the hellish combat that pulverized Hitler's forces with shot-by-shot accounts from true heroes.
