General Patton's Metz Obsession (Patreon)

Week 274 - General Patton's Metz Obsession - WW2 - November 25, 1944

Metz finally falls to Patton's 3rd Army, but boy, it's taken some time. To the south, the Allies also take Belfort and Strasbourg, and to the north Operation Queen continues trying to reach the Roer River. The Soviets complete their conquest of the islands in the Gulf of Riga and continue advancing in Hungary to the south, but it's the Axis Powers- the Japanese- who are advancing in China, taking Dushan and Nanning.
