- Summary
- "In the wake of the defeat in Normandy in the summer of 1944, Hitler planned to blunt the Allied advance by cutting off Patton's Third Army in the Lorraine with a great Panzer offensive. However, Patton's aggressive tactics continued to thwart German plans and led to a series of violent armored battles and the breakout of the American forces. As the battle-hardened Wehrmacht confronted the well-equipped and trained US Army, the Germans managed to re-establish a fragile defensive line but could not stop the US Army from establishing bridgeheads over the Moselle along Germany's western frontier.".
