In the wake of the defeat in Normandy in the summer of 1944, Hitler planned to stymie the Allied advance by cutting off Patton's
Third Army in the Lorraine with a great Panzer offensive. But Patton's aggressive tactics continued to thwart German plans
and led to a series of violent armored battles. The battle-hardened Wehrmacht confronted the better-equipped and better-trained
US Army. The Germans managed to re-establish a fragile defensive line but could not stop the US Army from establishing bridgeheads
over the Moselle along Germany's western frontier. Campaigns 5, 24, 74 and 75 are also available in a single volume special
edition as 'Into the Reich'.
