"Field Marshal Model Dissolved His Army Rather Than Obey Hitler's Last Order"
Field Marshal Walter Model made an unprecedented decision in April 1945. Rather than obey orders, he dissolved his entire army. This is his story. In the final days of World War 2, Field Marshal Walter Model faced an impossible choice. Trapped in the Ruhr Pocket with over 300,000 German soldiers, he received orders to fight to the last man. Instead, he did something no German commander had ever done before - he dissolved Army Group B entirely, releasing his soldiers to surrender or escape on their own. This documentary tells the complete story of Walter Model, from his humble beginnings as a music teacher's son in Genthin to becoming one of the most decorated German generals of the Second World War. Known as "Hitler's Fireman" for his ability to stabilize collapsing fronts, Model served on both the Eastern Front and Western Front, commanding forces at the Battle of Moscow, the Rzhev salient, Operation Market Garden at Arnhem, and the Battle of the Bulge.
