Patton versus Manteuffel

Steven J. Zaloga / Tony Bryan   

résumé

A highly illustrated account of the Panzer offensive in Lorraine.
In the wake of the defeat in Normandy in the summer of 1944, Hitler planned to stymie the Allied advance by cutting off Patton's Third Army in the Lorraine with a great Panzer offensive. But Patton's aggressive tactics continued to thwart German plans and led to a series of violent armored battles.
The battle-hardened Wehrmacht confronted the better-equipped and better-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.
Campaigns 5, 24, 74 and 75 are also available in a single volume special edition as Into the Reich.
