Battlefields of the World Wars
Battle Of The Bulge 1944
S1 E9:
December 1944, Northern France was the scene of one of the bloodiest battles of World War II, immortalized in the movie "Saving Private Ryan." Just before Christmas, 500,000 Germans prepared to attack Allied forces with overwhelming force. The Allied counter-attack demonstrated the steely nerve of American generals, led by Dwight D. Eisenhower, and the incredible bravery of Allied soldiers.
