Description
Changing tactics following the German defeat in Normandy, Hitler turned his attention to Patton's advance through the Lorraine. There, the battle-hardened Wehrmacht held off better-equipped US troops for long enough to establish a thin line of defensive positions, and this line became the focus for a series of bitter US and German offensives throughout 1944 and 1945. "Operation Market Garden", Patton's bold attempt to breach Hitler's lines at Arnhem, "the Battle of the Bulge" and Eisenhower's bloody assault on the Rhineland are all detailed in this account of the final years of war on Germany's western frontier.
