The Allies had triumphantly regained Paris, as well as Casablanca and Tripoli, Naples and Rome. Allied soldiers were breathing easier — even stopping to enjoy dances and parties. Intelligence reports from the Western Front conveyed the picture of a German army low on men, arms and morale. It came as a total surprise when, on December 16, 1944, a savage German attack — a quarter of a million men strong — ripped through this area and pushed a 50 mile \"bulge\" in the Allied lines.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSecretly planned by Hitler himself, this last German counteroffensive of World War II was the single biggest and bloodiest battle in U.S. military history. In sub-zero temperatures and blinding snow, American soldiers were overrun by an enemy with unsuspected reserves of well-armed men and heavy weaponry. General Eisenhower threw more than half a million young men into the frigid, blood-soaked battlefield. When it was over, 80,000 Americans were killed or wounded; German casualties were said to be twice that.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003ePacked with mesmerizing footage from newsreels and German and American military archives, The Battle of the Bulge is a compelling chronicle of war that captures both action on the front lines and the strategy behind the scenes. In their own words, U.S. soldiers and combat officers in the field recount the punishing physical and psychological conditions under which they fought — as well as the horror that still haunts their memories.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eChapters:\u003cbr\u003eAug. 1944 - GI's Celebrate In Paris\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eGerman Plan Big Surprise\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAllies Ignore Warning Signs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"Everything's Poppin' Loose\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\"We Have No Ammunition...\"\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBastogne Surrounded\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAllied Planes Stall German Advance\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eIke Pours in 500,000 Troops\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAmericans Advance Into German Artillery Fire\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLosses Mount\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eJan. 22, 1945 - Patton Urges All Out Attack\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBulge Retaken After 80,000 Casualties\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFor DVD Player (North American NTSC)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Shanachie Entertainment \/ The American Experience","offers":[{"title":"Used In Sleeve","offer_id":51087345811734,"sku":"129301","price":9.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0083\/0377\/1710\/files\/20263413532371scan_e4036529-d7f2-4304-a752-2eaf212270cc.jpg?v=1773095415","url":"https:\/\/www.neverdiemedia.com\/products\/the-battle-of-the-bulge-world-war-iis-deadliest-battle-5","provider":"NeverDieMedia","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
