as posted by the channel

BASTOGNE, December 1944. Panzer Lehr is closing in. The 101st Airborne is surrounded. And a German general is about to demand the impossible. This is the battle that decided the Bulge.

As Hitler's Ardennes Offensive reaches its critical crossroads, WW2 historians James Holland and Al Murray break down every phase of the fight for Bastogne — from Fritz Bayerlein's desperate race through fog and confusion, to Task Force Cherry's last-ditch blocking action, to the most defiant single word in military history: "NUTS!"

We trace Panzer Lehr's assault corridor, the frontline village of Magaret, Combat Command B's three taskforce units, and the moment a besieged American general told the entire German army exactly what he thought of their surrender demand.
