The Final Year of WWII - How the Allies Broke Through Nazi Defenses | Extra Long Documentary
From the flooded battlefields of the Scheldt Estuary to the final crossing of the Rhine, this powerful documentary charts the Allies' relentless push into Nazi-occupied Europe during the final months of World War II. In October 1944, Canadian forces face brutal resistance in the flooded lowlands around Antwerp. By November, American troops are thrown into the deadly Hürtgen Forest, nicknamed the “Death Factory,” where exhaustion and trauma take a heavy toll. December sees Hitler’s last major gamble, the surprise Ardennes Offensive, triggering the bloodiest battle fought by US forces in the war. As 1945 dawns, Allied forces reach the River Rhine. While Montgomery plans a massive crossing in the north, American troops seize a lucky breakthrough at the Remagen bridge. With expert analysis and gripping personal testimony from veterans, this episode tells the story of courage, endurance, and sacrifice, and of those fortunate enough to return home.
