Product Description
Product Description
Osprey's examination of the 'Battle of the Bulge, ' which was the last major German offensive in the West during World War II (1939-1945). Three armies attacked through the Ardennes, the weakest point in the American lines, and almost broke through. This title describes the planning of the attack and the course of events, including the defence of Bastogne and the heroic delaying actions fought by GIs supposed to be in a 'quiet' sector of the front. In spite of serious American disadvantages, Hitler's offensive was stopped. James Arnold explains exactly how this was achieved, and how Germany's last hopes of victory were finally put to rest.

Ardennes,
By
This review is from: Ardennes, 1944: Hitler's Last Gamble in the West (Osprey Military Campaign) (Paperback)
Although generally focusing on the forces involved at the Divisional level, I found this book very interesting as it went into greater detail of the German Army’s plans, the forces and weapons available and what the allies had facing them. It also described some of the battles in the campaign in greater detail but did not give an insight to the average man’s life, his equipment or weapons.

Quite good for modelers,
By Federico Kereki - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Ardennes, 1944: Hitler's Last Gamble in the West (Osprey Military Campaign) (Paperback)
In the usual Campaign series format, highlights from the book are the topological maps in 3D and the uniforms and equipment sketches. (These drawings actually come from other Osprey series, such as WARRIORS, MEN AT ARMS, or ELITE.) The historical treatment is not too deep (the book isn't that long!) but gives a nice overview of the whole "battle of the Bulge".You could also get ARNHEM 1944 and NORMANDY 1944, from the same series, to complete your collection about that year of WWII. |
