(Hitlers Last Stand: Season 6: Horrors of the Hurtgen) Historie Hitlers Last Stand returns, as the Allied forces land on the beaches of Normandy to liberate Western Europe. In the final chapter of WWII, bringing the fight to Hitlers doorstep will be no easy task. Nazi fanatics and diehards fight back ferociously for survival, across the strongholds of occupied Europe — in France, Belgium, Italy, and into Germany itself. These are the wars final, desperate battles, told at ground level through the soldiers who lived them: from the legendary Canadian regiment The Black Watch holding the line at Verrières Ridge, to elite officers of Britains Special Boat Service (SBS) carrying out an ambush in Northern Italy. Victory will demand courage, strategy, brotherhood—and unimaginable sacrifice. With the fate of the world hanging in the balance, every man on the ground is willing to do whatever it takes. D-Day was a battle. But they still need to win the war. On his first day of command, American Colonel George Mabry leads a broken battalion through the unforgiving terrain of the Hurtgen Forest, near the German border. It is rife with enemy booby traps, barricades, and enemy ambushes, and Mabry must lead them through it to capture the strategically crucial Roer River dams before Nazi forces flood the valley. Making the risky decision to lead from the front, Mabry will lead his men through minefields, barbed wire, and into German bunkers, in a forest that is known for devouring entire battalions. As the horrors of the Hurtgen forest grow steadily worse, their fearless actions manage to carve a narrow path forward to infiltrate the German heartland, in one of the most gruelling battles of World War 2.
