Patton, 1945
independent military historian and researcher
Essential · Edition 2026-06-26
Angus Wallace tracks Patton's Third Army from the Bulge aftermath through the Rhine crossing and into the final drive across Germany in early 1945. The episode engages honestly with Patton's command style — the aggression that made him effective and the political recklessness that made him a liability — and covers the operational challenges of maintaining momentum through a collapsing Reich. Good on the Rhine crossing and the race into Bavaria.
