Hitler's Last Stand

- Season 1

(2018)

Allied forces had planned to take the French city of Caen on D-Day, but more than a month later, German troops still cling stubbornly to the critical hub, bottling up 860,000 Allied soldiers on the Normandy beachhead. On July 8th, a Canadian regiment must capture the Abbaye d'Ardenne, which guards the city but is held by a notorious Panzer unit accused of horrific war crimes.

Desperately needing men and supplies to feed the Allied advance after D-Day, the Allies target the deep water port of Brest, France occupied by the Nazis since 1940. During the month long siege, the US 116TH Infantry Regiment storms a fort protected by minefields and defended by elite paratroopers. When flame-throwing tanks fail, they turn to an explosive solution to bring down the walls.

Six months after D-Day, the war in Europe reaches a stalemate. As Allied forces close in on the German border, supply lines fail to keep up and fighting conditions deteriorate as winter sets in. US Rangers must capture Hill 400, a critical peak which permits observation of enemy activity for miles around, including a secret Nazi build up preparing for the infamous Battle of the Bulge.

After Adolf Hitler's suicide during the final days of World War Two, an American Tank Commander leads a motley mix of German and American soldiers determined to protect French VIP prisoners held in a castle in the Austrian alps from loyal Nazi troops. When their tank is struck and the Waffen SS forces attack, it is not clear they will be able to hold out.
