Скачать или смотреть How 18 Americans Stopped an Entire German Division at Lanzerath Ridge | WW2 Documentary Focus

At the opening of the Battle of the Bulge, just 18 American reconnaissance soldiers from the 394th I&R Platoon managed to slow down an entire elite German division, delaying the spearhead of the 1st SS Panzer Division by nearly 20 critical hours.
The stand at Lanzerath Ridge remains one of the most heroic and overlooked battles of World War II—where smart defensive tactics, courage, and the determination of a small unit changed the course of the entire Ardennes Offensive.

In this documentary, we recreate the full sequence of events: the terrain, the strategy, the German assault waves, the impossible odds, and the bold decisions of young Second Lieutenant Lyle Bouck—and how 18 men fooled the Germans into believing they were fighting a reinforced battalion.

If you enjoy authentic WW2 history, untold hero stories, battlefield analysis, and forgotten moments of World War II, this is a video you don't want to miss.
