There’s a great video on another channel about the bridge at Ramagen. Critical action by a few American soldiers saved the bridge at least long enough for a few thousand soldiers and many tanks could cross. The bridge later collapsed killing a few dozen soldiers and engineers working to repair the bridge. But by then two pontoon bridges had been built. Germans threw everything they had at the bridge but failed.

The fall of Remagn , Germany and the taking of it's bridge was remarked upon by Eisenhower. He called it one of the most significant events of the war. On March, 7, 1955 then President Eisenhower hosted the "Society Of the Remagen Bridgehead" in the Whitehouse. Where he lavishly praised those who took the bridge. Many who were at that storming of the bridge were present. (But not my father in law, another story) The letter issued by the President to the Society at that event, can be seen, on line at the: American Presidency Project.

A real pity your grasp of factual history has you believing that Market Garden was Montgomery's original plan and that it hadn't been co-opted by an American General making it all but unnachievable as originally planned. Gen Gavin diverted the majority of his force to the City of Nijmegen instead of seizing the bridge and the wheels fell off the whole operation at that point because without the bridge at Nijmegen, there could be no originally planned by Monty relieving troops arriving at Arnem. Gavin screwed the pooch by prioritizing the city instead of the bridge and there went the ball game.

Welcome to the Wild WOKE World.

Did Japan surrender when Germany did??? There are 3 more months left to the war

[@carlosenriquegonzalez-isla6523]

20:23 Patton, the general that the Germans “fear more than any other allied commander” Yeah, sure 😒 more than Zhukov that beat the s#it of of them in several occasions…😊

[@MUCHTRA1N]

That was the German perspective, not a conclusion drawn by the video maker. Zuchov takes a long time to marshall his overwhelming forces (artillery, troops). The USSR camps several months on the Oder before crossing. Patton reaches the Rhine and crosses immediately.

[@malamuteaerospace6333]

THE SOVIET UNION WON THE EUROPEAN THEATER OF WAR. PERIOD NO EXCEPTIONS Peace my friends

[@PolarExpress-ql3nk]

@@MUCHTRA1N Where did you get that spelling of Zhukov from? Or is that just a typo? Zhukov's main problem is that he was operating in the USSR ('Communist') and it took the Army >4 million troops killed, wounded, captured in 5 months to stall out the Germans.

[@kkkkjjjj8113]

its bullshit to compare eastern front to western, patton had clean way to reach that fast meanwhile all wermacht atention were on eastern front, allies totally faced nothing on west@@MUCHTRA1N

[@kkkkjjjj8113]

seems like u re looking speedrun statistic, like allies wouldnot stay with chance with german in 40 41 42 and 43, there was 0 chance to defeat german in that year @@MUCHTRA1N

[@3BK235Y]

20:57-21:10 Why did Patton "get away with such things"? What was wrong in admitting the good qualities of your enemies? 40:08 41:05 Why on earth are these images blurred?

[@peterrobbins2862]

The last 100 days of ww2 were fought in the pacific not Europe

[@bradcobb3418]

exactly,my Dad was there in Burma after doing his bit in N africa and D Day..poor research.

"We fought the wrong enemy" - General Patton

[@Krillionone]

Yeah Patton said we should have fought Russia not germany. What a treasonous thing to say when Germans killed MANY AMERICANS including members of my family. How disgusting

[@davidhauge5706]

I've seen conspiracy theories that he was killed on Eisenhower's orders. If true Eisenhower was a even greater man than he was ever given credit for.

[@daleburrell6273]

​​@@davidhauge5706...EISENHOWER WAS A LOUSY GENERAL- AND A WORSE PRESIDENT!!! AS A GENERAL- AND AS A U.S. PRESIDENT- EISENHOWER WAS NOTHING BUT A SOCK PUPPET FOR THE PEOPLE WHO WERE PULLING THE STRINGS BEHIND THE SCENES!!!

[@daleburrell6273]

​@@davidhauge5706IT MIGHT HAVE BEEN BETTER THAT PATTON DIDN'T LIVE TO SEE THE OUTBREAK OF THE COLD WAR: THERE'S A LIMIT TO HOW MUCH SATISFACTION YOU CAN TAKE OUT OF SAYING: "I TOLD YOU SO!!!"

[@billhobbs7077]

patton was a tRumptard???

[@MichaelWittrock-kr9gy]

My father was German native American released from the war in 1945 in April .

The censorship is disturbing, but not as disturbing as the Soviets. Pure, absolute evil.

There was competition bet Montgomery and Patton. Monty cooked the idea of Market Garden but failed

[@brianmurray1395]

Did it really end or are we just continuing it?

Watching from India.

[@caseylimbert266]

Wow, all these years and they still badmouth Patton

[@RT-far-T]

Beevor, author of the famed but highly inaccurate 'Stalingrad' book, really can't hide his anti-Red Army feeling. Zhukov was more than a 'capable' commander!

[@Milovan-c9x]

The final battle(s) of WW2 took place in the Far East, in Manchuria and Korea.
