Was Hürtgen Forest Worth it? (Patreon)

Week 275 - Was Hürtgen Forest Worth it? - WW2 - December 2, 1944

The bulk of the fight for Hürtgen Forest is now over, and today we look at the results. We also look at Soviet plans for their January offensive. In the field this week, the Red Army is still fighting in Hungary, the Allies are still trying to reach the Roer River in the west, and in the Pacific Theater the kamikaze menace is wreaking havoc with Allied scheduling.
