Скачать или смотреть Why Patton Was the Only General Ready for the Battle of the Bulge

December 19, 1944—Eisenhower asked his generals how soon they could counterattack to save surrounded Americans at Bastogne. Everyone calculated logistics, distances, winter conditions. Then Patton said "forty-eight hours." The room thought he was bluffing. He wasn't. Eleven days earlier, while SHAEF intelligence dismissed warnings, Patton's G-2 Oscar Koch predicted the German offensive. Only Patton listened. He prepared three contingency plans, pre-positioned fuel dumps, and briefed commanders. When 200,000 Germans attacked through the Ardennes, every Allied general was shocked—except one. This documentary reveals how Patton's preparation saved Bastogne and changed the Battle of the Bulge.
