In the wake of the surprise offensive through the Ardennes, Generals Bradley and Hodges seem to have lost it, while Patton is jockeying to charge ahead. Firm control is required, so it is up to commanders Eisenhower and Montgomery to grip the situation and stop the Germans getting to the River Meuse - the red line that the allies cannot allow the panzers to cross. 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.
