Adolf Hitler, had decided in the autumn on 1944 to take an incredible gamble. If it had succeeded, he would have seized the crucial supply port of Antwerp, and divided and cut off the whole British and Canadian 21st Army Group as well as at least one of the American armies. The end-game could have meant their surrender or at best a second 'Dunkirk'.
Hitler's superbly well concealed Panzer army struck in the Ardennes in mid-December. Thick fog and low-cloud prevented air reconnaissance. English-speaking German commandos in captured jeeps created immense panic. American divisions were surrounded and captured. It was one of the most dramatic moments of World War Two. The turning point came after ten days of mist, fog and low cloud, when the skies cleared and the avenging Thunderbolts of the Allied air forces inflicted mortal damage on the Panzer armies.
This book tells the story of Hitler's last plan and of how close he came to success.
