Скачать или смотреть Why German Generals Were Terrified of Patton’s Third Army

In June 1944, Germany believed it knew exactly where the Allied invasion would strike. It was wrong — and the mistake would cost the Third Reich the war in the West.

This documentary reveals how General George S. Patton became the centerpiece of the most successful military deception in history. While Allied troops stormed Normandy, German High Command kept its most powerful divisions frozen at Pas-de-Calais, waiting for an invasion that never came. Why? Because they were convinced Patton was coming.

Through declassified intelligence reports, firsthand accounts, and postwar German testimony, this film explores how Operation Fortitude exploited fear, reputation, and psychological warfare to paralyze Hitler’s generals for six critical weeks.

You’ll discover how a phantom army, fake radio traffic, double agents, and Patton’s own legend reshaped the battlefield — without firing a shot.

This is the story of how belief became a weapon… and how Germany lost France waiting for a ghost.
