Produktbeschreibung

The battles for the Germans' last line of defense in World War II, including Arnhem, Aachen, the Huertgen Forest, and Metz

How German commanders made decisions under fire

Built as a series of forts, bunkers, and tank traps, the West Wall--known as the Siegfried Line to the Allies--stretched along Germany's western border.

In desperate fighting--among the war's worst--the Germans held off the Allies for several months.
