How U.S. Soldiers Defeated Hitler’s Death Army: Das Reich — The Force That Terrified Europe

Описание: Hitler’s Death Army: Das Reich — On June 6, 1944, D-Day. As Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy, Hitler ordered one of his most feared divisions—the 2nd SS Panzer Division “Das Reich”—to move north through occupied France. What followed became one of the most tragic and pivotal chapters in World War II history.

Assigned to stop the French Resistance and slow the Allied advance, Das Reich left a trail of destruction across France. In towns such as Tulle and Oradour-sur-Glane, entire communities were devastated, and the cost to civilians was immense.

Yet, the tide began to turn. U.S. soldiers, working with courageous Resistance fighters, disrupted supply lines, carried out ambushes, and steadily weakened the German forces. Their combined courage and sacrifice helped open the road to the liberation of France.

Through rare, color-restored archival footage and carefully researched wartime records, this documentary explores the full story of Das Reich—the division that once struck fear across Europe—and the Allied and French efforts that ultimately ended its campaign.

This is more than a story of combat; it’s an exploration of duty, ideology, and the human cost of war.
