The Battle Of The Bulge: The Red Line (Part 6) Mar 06, 2025

Show notes

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.

Everyone remembers Bastogne. But here, we uncover the ferocious fighting around the Two Villages area, a hotly-contested part of the Ardennes Offensive that deserves to be better known to history.

Here, isolated bands of American soldiers, low on ammo, held off thousands of Nazi forces against the odds, buying valuable time for allied forces with their blood.

Show notes

The Battle Of The Bulge is launched with a dawn barrage on December 16th 1944 at unsuspecting Allied defences.

The Battle Of The Bulge: America's Fight (Part 2) Feb 20, 2025

Show notes

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.

The Battle Of The Bulge: Hitler's Mad Plan (Part 1) Feb 18, 2025

Show notes

The Battle of the Bulge is often called Hitler's Last Gamble, but rather than a bold offensive on the brink of success, it was a rushed and hopeless attack.

The usual narrative highlights Allied shortcomings, but in reality, it was a remarkable American victory.
