Description

This film chronicles the ultimate demise of Hitler's legendary west wall, dubbed by the allies as the 'Siegfried Line'. The West Wall was a tremendous barrier of fortified defenses, protecting Germany from invasion through Europe. In 1944, this line of defense was crushed, when following the D Day landings; the allied troops fought their way relentlessly to cross the line into Germany.
