Скачать или смотреть How American General Patton Moved 250,000 Troops in 72 Hours - Germans Couldn't Believe It

In December 1944, German forces launched a massive surprise attack through the Ardennes Forest, surrounding American troops in Bastogne.

General George Patton made an impossible promise: move his entire Third Army of 250,000 troops 150 miles through winter, pivot 90 degrees, and attack in 72 hours.

Military experts said it couldn't be done. Patton had secretly prepared contingency plans weeks earlier. On December 22nd, exactly when he promised, his attack began. The 4th Armored Division fought through snow and German defenses to break the siege on December 26th.

This maneuver is still taught at military academies as one of the greatest tactical achievements in military history.
