Another outstanding documentary from the Battlefield History TV team, following the efforts in the last days of 1944 by Jochen Peiper's 1st Panzer Regiment of the 1st " Leibstandarte" SS Panzer Division, to break through the Allied lines in the northern sector of the Ardennes.

By walking the ground and describing the key phases, they reveal how the Leibstandarte attempted to make rapid progress but were continually hampered by poor roads, blown bridges, and ever stiffening resistance, and show how this frustration culminated in the Malmedy Massacre where almost one hundred American prisoners of war were murdered. The main focus of the narrative, however, is concerned with the Division's spearhead and their constant struggle.. Read more

A big plus of the documentary is that it’s led by questions from the historians. Especially with a subject like this, the viewer will find this very useful. Instead of giving tons of information, asking questions to one another will keep the viewer alert.
Tom Dormer and the crew of Battlefield TV did great job! I’m looking forward to the other documentaries.
