February 20, 2025 The Battle Of The Bulge: America's Fight (Part 2)
The Battle Of The Bulge is America's victory. In popular retellings of the campaign, myths surrounding Allied unpreparedness in this new series are proved conclusively to be wrong.

From Eisenhower at the top, to the many brave GIs on the frontlines of what should have been a quiet sector at Christmas, the Nazi war machine was stopped in its tracks by American grit.

Join James Holland and Al Murray as they debunk the myths and expose the real failures behind Nazi Germany’s final Western offensive—a reckless plan that wasted countless lives.
