Battle of the Bulge, Animated - Part 2, Panzer Assault

Having achieved surprise in their new offensive through the Ardennes, the Panzer units must maintain a fast pace to take Antwerp before the Allies can deploy reinforcements to the region. At St Vith and the approaches to Bastogne, fierce American resistance is hurting German progress. Kampfgruppe Peiper have a difficult time navigating the small villages and bridges of the Ardennes with their immense Tiger 2 and Panther tanks.

Imagine getting a new Operations Room part 1 video in the morning, and then sitting down to lunch at work, wondering what you're gonna watch on YouTube, and seeing that he's ALREADY uploaded PART 2...

[tayzonday]

This is the best way to learn the history of battles.

High school history teacher was in 101st at Bastogne (although he wasn’t in Easy Co., his obituary some years back read like a list of Band of Brothers episodes). He was EMPHATIC that the 101st did NOT need rescue by Patton; all that they needed was more supplies.

The zooming in and out on the satellite map and switching into local battlefield maps for smaller scale action really sells the scale of the whole thing.

[kevinzuniga]

Harper should have been awarded the Medal of Honor period. I can only imagine watching your platoon getting destroyed infront of you and decide to push towards the stronger and better armed enemy to give your men a better chance to retreat, knowing the chance of surviving are slim.
17 Sherman tanks seem a lot to hold off an enemy push, but watching them get destroyed one by one must have been really frightening. God bless these men 🇺🇸

[napoleonibonaparte]

The videos really help illustrate the sheer panicked situation the entire thing was for the allies.

[SoullessPhotography]

Huge props to the Operations Room team for making such amazing videos covering some crazy battles throughout our history.

[hugmynutus]

Eisenhower mobilizing 250, 00 men in less than 3 days is mind blowing. Military discipline & orders is one thing. Still need a lot of trucks, planes, trains, gas, bullets, and food to make that happen.

Man those Established Titles sponsorships hitting different now XD
I can't believe I or anyone else actually thought it was legit.

[sikkyson]

Each one gets just a little bit better. I haven’t gotten this excited for a channel to upload a new video in years and don’t think it’ll go away anytime soon for the Operations Room

[viellegardevielle]

imagine the whole history side of YouTube converging on this channel for this insanely amazing series. Drach, Indy, and now Jesse. who else do we got?

[someguardsman]

Excellent documentation of the events on the ground here, by far one of the best retellings of the battle of the bulge that clearly illustrates the scale and desperation of every attack and counter attack by both the german and the american forces. Bravo as well for the two part release in one day!

[rewmeister]

2 parts on the same day?! Thank you! Plus the Intel Reports, you guys are on fire 🔥

[matthewoakley]

You should cover the battle of Gallipoli from the Anzac/Turkish prospective.

You have a range of battles you could cover, including:

- the landings at Anzac Cove
- the battle of lone pine
- battle of the new
- battle for chunuk bair
- the evacuation

[jammers]

Finish part 1, immediately get part 2. Such timing!

[JoviaI]

How many people are on your team now? It's crazy how quick you can get this much high-quality content out this quick!

[dimitriisov]

Established Titles doesnt actually plant trees and is rub by a scam artist

[Whitsoxrule]

Amazing work. I was blown away by the Iwo Jima coverage, only to realize that this project is even more ambitious and well-executed. Really excited for the rest of the series. You also deserve to be commended for partnering with other channels who produce this type of content. Not all creators would have willingly partnered with their "competition". Proud to be subscribed to your channels.

Americans fought really bravely with extraordinary initiatives from junior ranks. That blowing up bridges in the middle of night in some kinda stealth fashion was incredible.

Being a keyboard warrior, I had imagined at the time of a conflict, training, good logistics, leadership within the rank and file, spirit de corps were way more important than ideologies.

Cruelty does not equate to bravery. Being harsh with prisoners of war or civilians does not mean they can fight an equal peer who could shoot back with ferocity.
