Скачать или смотреть December 22nd 1944: German mockery ended — when Patton shattered the ring around Bastogne

December 1944. Hitler launched his final gamble — 200,000 men, 600 tanks, and one mission: break the American front, capture Antwerp, and split the Allies in two.
For six days, it worked. U.S. divisions shattered. Thousands surrendered. Bastogne was surrounded. Germany believed victory was finally within reach.

But one man refused to accept defeat.

General George S. Patton Jr., commander of the U.S. Third Army, made a promise no military textbook believed possible:
“Give me 48 hours — and I will save Bastogne.”

What followed became the most audacious maneuver in modern warfare:
• 133,000 men
• 15,000 vehicles
• 800 tanks
pivoting 90 degrees in the middle of winter and striking the Germans where they least expected.

This video tells the full, unbelievable story:
• The shock of the German breakthrough
• The siege of Bastogne and the legendary “NUTS!” reply
• Patton’s impossible 48-hour march
• The brutal battles at Martelange, Wiltz, and Assenois
• The Christmas Eve tank charge that broke the German ring
• Operation Bodenplatte — the Luftwaffe’s last breath
• The destruction of three German armies
• And Patton’s tragic, mysterious death only months later

The Battle of the Bulge was Hitler’s last gamble — and Patton’s greatest triumph.
A story of speed, audacity, sacrifice… and 11,000 American paratroopers saved from annihilation.
