Hitler's Greatest Mistake: The Destruction of the German Army in France

In August 1944, Hitler’s refusal to retreat helped create one of the most devastating Allied victories in France. At the Falaise Pocket, American, British, Canadian, and Polish forces trapped the German Seventh Army and Fifth Panzer Army in a rapidly shrinking pocket, destroying thousands of vehicles and leaving tens of thousands of German soldiers dead or captured. This video tells the story of how the trap formed, Patton’s rapid advance, the desperate fighting at Mont Ormel, and the final closure of the pocket at Chambois. **Disclaimer:** This video is intended for educational and historical purposes.
