Показать описание
Ähnlich wie bereits 1940 sollten sich deutsche Panzerverbände den Weg durch das unwegsame Gelände der Ardennen bzw. westlichen Teile der Eifel bahnen und die Alliierten zurückwerfen. Die neu aufgestellte 6. SS-Panzerarmee, zu der die vier SS-Panzer-Divisionen „Leibstandarte SS Adolf Hitler“, „Das Reich“, „Hohenstaufen“ und „Hitlerjugend“ gehörten, lag im Bereitstellungsraum des Gebietes Losheimergraben südwestlich von Köln-Bonn. Sie hatte den Hauptangriff an der Nordflanke mit dem kürzesten Weg nach Antwerpen vorzutragen. Zu ihr gehörte auch die Kampfgruppe Peiper. Im Tagesbefehl vom 15. Dezember 1944 forderte der Oberbefehlshaber der 6. SS-Panzerarmee, Sepp Dietrich, von allen ihm unterstellten Verbänden der Waffen-SS, des Heeres und der Luftwaffe den höchsten Einsatz bis zum letzten Mann.

On 16 December 1944, at 05:30, the Germans began the assault with a massive, 90-minute artillery barrage using 1,600 artillery pieces[55] across a 130-kilometre (80 mi) front on the Allied troops facing the 6th Panzer Army. The Americans' initial impression was that this was the anticipated, localized counterattack resulting from the Allies' recent attack in the Wahlerscheid sector to the north, where the 2nd Division had knocked a sizable dent in the Siegfried Line. In the northern sector Dietrich's 6th Panzer Army was held up for almost 24 hours by a single reconnaissance platoon and four U.S. Forward Artillery Observers dug in on a ridge overlooking a key road intersection in the village of Lanzerath. They then assaulted Losheim Gap and Elsenborn Ridge in an effort to break through to Liège and Antwerp.

german army specially the waffen ss looks like a modern german army of today bcoz of their impressive camouflage and modern helmet design that now are being adapted by almost all of the modern armies of today.if you'll look at the german army uniform that they used during their nato peacekeeping mission in kosovo way back in 1999 it bears a resemblance except for some colors added.

Getting such a large force together just six months before the end of the war is testimony to the organizational skills of the German people. Amazing.

The recordings could be old like just a view years ago. But imagine its over 80 years ago. And it still looks so clean

German 88 was a formidable field gun and also a tremendous anti aircraft weapon.

Надо отдать должное, сражались до конца. Всегда удивлялся людям, которые продолжают сражаться за что-то, даже если и так понятен исход не в их пользу. Не скажу, что это разумно, но не восхищаться этим невозможно. И ведь не только сражались, но и создавали ракеты, реактивные самолёты ...

If anyone is interested in the music on the backing track, it's by Steve Jablonsky and called the "Battle", and is from the second Transformers movie "Revenge of the Fallen" 2009. It was reprised in the third Transformers movie "Dark of the Moon" in 2011.
