When Germany Faced the Full Weight of American Military Power

This documentary reveals how the German military machine that conquered most of Europe was ultimately crushed by American industrial and military power during World War 2. From the humiliating defeat at Kasserine Pass in 1943 to the final collapse in 1945, witness the transformation of American forces from inexperienced newcomers into an unstoppable juggernaut. Hear the words of German commanders like Rommel, Rundstedt, and Speer as they watched in horror as American production outpaced Germany by ratios that defied belief. Experience the devastating battles of D-Day, Operation Cobra, the Battle of the Bulge, and the crossing of the Rhine. Learn how the Arsenal of Democracy produced 300,000 aircraft, 49,000 Sherman tanks, and 2.4 million trucks while Germany relied on over a million horses. Discover the stories of heroes like Audie Murphy, who single-handedly held off German forces at age 19, and Major James Howard, who attacked 30 Luftwaffe fighters alone. By April 1945, German soldiers were surrendering at 59,000 per day as the Wehrmacht disintegrated under the weight of American firepower, logistics, and determination. This is the complete story of how an industrial democracy buried the Third Reich under an avalanche of steel.
