Lots of people thought Germany was a few weeks from surrender by late summer 1944. The allies had recaptured France, Brussels, had pushed into Holland, the Russians were racing west. Somehow though the German army regrouped. Operation Market Garden didn't really work, the allied supply lines became stretched, the US forces advanced through woodland where they couldn't deploy their bombers or artillery. That winter as well was one of the coldest in memory.

@@SugarRainer France would never have "Third Worlders" in the first place if they didn't extract a hefty colonial tax from their former colonies to this day. That is the root cause of the demise of those nations because it stunts their growth and the result is people fleeing those lands in search of better opportunities. Even the Italians called out rhe French on that which caused a row between those two countries. Google it up.

@Jerry Pecks France is extremely divided today, and along ethnic lines. The Yellow Vests, largely unreported by the outside world should go some way to showing you how the globalist media behaves, what their agenda is, and also, just how divided and fractured France is. Also, the majority of babies born today in Paris are already non-white French. Much of Paris today looks like north Africa or some place in the middle east. Maybe you see that as a strength, maybe you think it is diversity, and a good thing.

Interesting to see now, but bloody terrifying at the time for the soldiers. I know as my father was there. 21st Army Group, 11th Armoured Division 13th Royal Horse Artillery. L/Bdr. It was not all fun and games. He spent 4 years of his life doing that stuff and survived ( hence me). I am pleased that I did not have to do that. Still, The Germans are the major power in Europe and provide the cash for the other wastrels to carry on their communist policies. ( France/Italy in particular) I am glad us UK people are out and I hope my grandsons never have to fight that lot again.
