The Battle Of The Bulge: The Final Brutal Months Of WW2

Video Description

​​After liberating Paris in August 1944, the Allied advance into Germany slowed due to severe logistical problems. Hitler exploited this pause by launching "vengeance weapons," like the V1 flying bombs and V2 rockets, to attack British cities. On the Western Front, the Allies' ambitious Operation Market Garden failed to secure key bridges in Holland, while Hitler's surprise counteroffensive in the Battle of the Bulge ultimately failed. Meanwhile, in the east, Stalin deliberately allowed the Germans to crush the Warsaw Uprising to eliminate anti-communist forces. As Soviet forces advanced, they uncovered the horrific truth of the Holocaust with the discovery of the first extermination camps. Welcome to The World History Channel.
