December, 1944.
:02:58
British and American Armies
were on the threshold of victory.
:03:02
Stretched across half of europe.
:03:04
The allies cathered themselves for the
final assault of Germany.
:03:08
To the north stood montcomery's
:03:09
Eichth army.
:03:11
To the south, patton's third.
:03:14
In the center.
:03:15
Along an 88-mile front.
:03:17
A few battle-weary Amercan divisions
:03:19
Rested in a quiet sector.
:03:22
To them.
The war seemed already won.
:03:26
This is their story.
:03:29
Colonel, we've been flying
:03:30
Over these woods all week.
:03:31
There's nothing but trees.
:03:32
Let's turn back.

Getting hungry, Joe?
:03:36
The war is over.
:03:37
I hear CHQ is shipping
:03:39
Us home for Christmas.
:03:41
Joe, the German Army still has
:03:42
Six million men carrying arms.
:03:44
They're not going home for Christmas.
:03:49
Hey, there it is.
:03:52
The German Amry.
:03:56
Let's go down and have a look.
