Patton's Relentless Assault on Metz | Patton 360 (S1, E8) | Full Episode

I get all Giddy like a school girl when I see a new episode of any version of the battlefield 360 has been uploaded. I have watched every episode of the USS Enterprise. Between these shows and the Dogfights Episodes there is usually one or the other steaming somewhere in my house whether it be on one of the Multiple flat screens or even when I’m cutting the fields Or bush hogging I’ll have my wireless ear buds in and have my phone in my pocket streaming an episode and just listen to it kinda as an audiobook documentary type deal on world war 2 history. Keep uploading these please, bc this was when you could watch a show about history and I know that’s a daft fetched idea for a TV channel with the name of “THE HISTORY CHANNEL” instead of the crazy and junk and trash shows that are shown on it all day and night now!! But thanks to YouTube we can watch these amazing re runs right here!!! Keep it up y’all!!! Thanks again!!!

Nicely done great work on this thanks for the effort

Fall of 1944 had some of the worst weather in decades. and in close up fighting like that air support is not of much use. Add short of supplies and short of troops and no room to maneuver and there you are. Grinding gritty fighting. Had to be taken. The failure of Market Garden set all this up. Not to mention not getting Antwerp open for supply. Even at this point most of the supplies for the two northern army groups were STILL coming from the Normandy Beaches. Very inefficient and the French Railway system had been devastated by Allied bombing prior to D Day. The allies had ONE shot at getting to the Rhine and forcing the Germans to abandon the Siegfried Line and Market Garden blew it. And so it went

50 years after my grandfather's death I finally determined he was in the 137th under Patton and I can watch this show and I'll see everything my grandfather did thank you guys very much Happy memorial Day 2024

My grandfather was at this battle, served in the infantry

"Ol' Blood and Guts" "Yeah, his Guts and our Blood."

i like the story of Kolodiez, when he and his gun machine buddy made german officers surrender, and made them their prisoners ,not before telling the german soldier and holding a granade ready to pin off" if this is a trap, i go and you die with me"you have to have guts to do that.

Look up the battle history of the 377th and 378th Infantry Regiments at Metz.

Er am...supplies short vs prioritized for Monty🤣...headline grabbing aside- this is akin to a QB rushing for the TD vs handing off to his running back or throwing to his open wide receivers🤣...these egos and adult men sulking and throwing tantrums... The allies had rice paper and eggshells in their advance to Germany. Joe was insisting the others open up a western front and ease his "heavy lifting" on the east= let the USSR replace Nazi occupation with Soviet "iron curtain" control...while UK/Canada and USA retake the rest from the west as Monty wanted to lead that charge- since up until then, England had been subjected to V rockets and Luftwaffe bombings while all others had Uboat destruction at sea... France and Holland and Belgium got massive destruction as the Germans were pushed back home... Poor Poland- the line in the sand so to speak, suffered the worst of both German and Russian devastation and took until Lech Walesa in the 80s /90s to regain nationhood... So much for being the cause for the vicious combat🙄

Patton's stubborn, costly, and questionable attacks on Metz.

definitely NOT accidental

I just don't understand why they didn't go around it

Grabbing headlines and raisin hell in the trenches on the nazis .Patton is as gangster as it can ever get

Doggies. Always trying to do it the hard way.

As much as I respect Patton I wonder how good of a general he really was. In fact i wonder about a lot of generals. When they have a larger army, more equipment and plenty of food and gas they should win. Rommel had a much smaller army in Africa and won many battles. Same with Robert E.Lee against the larger more equipped Northern armies. Englands Montgomery was another general who wouldn’t attack until he knew his army was larger and better equipped than the Germans. His big plan to attack going north to attack Germany was a disaster, yet he is regarded as a great general.

what dose everyone think about Pattons death? accident or murder?

Poor Black Americans, fighting Nazis while being led by Nazis

This was a horrible episode, could have been 20 minutes long and LESS SHAKEY .... like what the heck , felt like i was having a seizure

The greatest generation!! What would they think of us now?!
