Line of fire is the best war documentary series ever made

[@neal.karn-jones]

I'd choose Battlefield, World at War, and the Soviet Storm series over this. But this is still great.

[@jonhildahl9982]

Very good but not the greatest.

[@Softail77us]

This video explains the battle much better than the other 20+ videos I've seen here on the tube and beyond.

Interesting and informative. Excellent photography job enabling viewers to better understand what/whom the orator was describing. Special thanks to veteran soldiers. Sharing personal information /combat experiences enabling historians to replicate Diaries/memoirs. For viewers to better appreciate what actually happened. A special shout out to the surrounded American forces whom refused the surrender & didn't. Fighting/perishing/ surviving knowing certain death/debilitating wounds were often times possible. Yet still advanced forward/held their ground. Regardless of the consequences in the face of over whelming odds at the onset of the battle of the bulge.

My grand pa was in the USAs 508 PIR 82nd A / B Div. ,and was wounded in the Ardennes , when the jeep he was riding in hit a landmine kia driver , and soldier behind , and wounding my grandpa , and soldier behind him . Both had laid on road side B-4 , and , luckily , were picked up by an American patrol . In the area , after murdering nearly 150 unarmed American soldiers , Waffen SS " Liebstandarte " Colonel Joachims'Piepers troops were roaming around . Pieper was responsible for the Malmady massacre . After grandpa was fixed up , he was ordered , with other American medics , which grandpa was , to assist concentration camp victims ; it was an horrible experience . After the war , grandpa palpable PSTD issues hesitated his harrowing tales of the fighting between Normandys'jump on 6/6/1944 . Subsequently , he took part in the "Bocage " , Hedgerow bloody fighting , to "Operation Market Garden " mid 9/44 , to the "Battle If The Bulge " where the Americans lost nearly 20000 kia , including in the 8200 0 casualties suffered by the Americans .

[@rascalferret]

Did he make a documentary...

[@JohnEglick-oz6cd]

Alot of these Americans were recovering from previous bloody fighting in the Hurtgen Forrest , Aachen , Walcheren Islands in Northern Belgium , and the near calamitous "Operation Market Garden " , and the bitter fighting in the American 7th Army Sector near , and , in the Vosges MTN.s

[@StephenLuke]

RIP To the 19,000 US troops, 200 British troops, and 3,000-5,000 Belgian civilians who were killed in the Battle of the Bulge

[@eliech7112]

Great video as usual thank you

[@mohammedsaysrashid3587]

Wonderful historical coverage video where German penetrated allies lines with full speed...

[@markpaul-ym5wg]

The fatal mistake the germans made was the murdereing of U.S. troops.Once the word got spread thru the american lines,the soldiers were convinced not to surrender,therefor to die in place if need be.This action was the turning point of the whole battle.

[@Idahoguy10157]

Hitler expected victory in this offensive based multiple bad assumptions

[@joshntn37111]

Victory was impossible

[@JohnEglick-oz6cd]

The Americans had suffered Evan higher casualties in , eventual , reducing the initial bulge ; 44 day battle in the "The Battle For The Bulge " .

[@robertdelacruz2951]

Excellent!

[@charlesfiscus4235]

The 291st ECB were the ones that slowed Piper by blowing up bridges at three bridges and beyond

[@samsungtap4183]

Wonderful how the Americans turned on Montgomery just as Snitla predicted

[@nickhomyak6128]

No mention of 82nd Airborne Saint Vith?

[@dioniciotorres4290]

If they didn't get greedy and go after Russia the western front would have been formidable maybe too formidable for the allies

[@zillsburyy1]

operation GREIF

[@angloaust1575]

The american forces held the line didnt crack like the french And british did in 1940!

[@angloaust1575]

The 1965 movie was totally inaccurate even eisenhower Wasnt impressed!

[@jonhildahl9982]

I don't know why it bugs me but for some reason when I hear English speakers attempting to out do each other with proper pronunciations of local regions, rivers, villages etc. it always gives me a good laugh @ their desire to sound super duper smart. Jesus Lynette its the Ardenne not the Au'den.

[@jonhildahl9982]

I should say he (then) & she (now) has always been & still is one of my favorite historical commentators. I find it interesting how many shows he contributed to before theys lifestyle change & now I rarely see they (damn I'm getting good at this, my social score should be rising) I have no numbers to back that statement, just an observation, used to see him a lot, changes his sex, rarely seen. Maybe the History channel & others aren't so tolerant & just blowing liberal smoke up our a*ses.

[@sirkudos3666]

SEE AS THEM DEY LIST THE LOST OF HUMAN LIVES IN NUMBERS AS IF ITS JUST MONEY.

[@asullivan4047]

It was the same senseless carnage 1914 thru 1918. " no sacrifice is too great " Gen. diabolical Haig 😈 . 57K casualties 1916 battle of the Somme.

[@jjahsepuyeshd]
