دانلود کتاب Siegfried: The Nazi's Last Stand

On 11 September 1944 four soldiers from the US Fifth Armored Division crossed the River Our and entered Hitler’s Third Reich. In front of them, they found the abandoned Siegfried Line: a three-mile-deep series of fortifications running along Germany’s western frontier.Four years earlier, British troops had boasted that they would hang out their washing on the Siegfried Line – and now it seemed as if the Americans would make good on that promise. But appearances proved as deceptive in 1944 as they had in 1940.By October, Allied troops were bogged down in one of the war’s bitterest battles. This masterful history tells the story of one of the most brutal battles of World War II.Praise for Charles Whiting:‘Whiting… is a skilled and prolific writer.
