Lorraine 1944, Patton vs Manteuffel
by Stephen J Zaloga
In the wake of the defeat in
Normandy in the summer of 1944, Hitler planned to stymie the Allied
advance by cutting off Patton's Third Army in the Lorraine with a great
Panzer offensive. But Patton's aggressive tactics continued to thwart
German plans and led to a series of violent armoured battles. The
battle-hardened Wehrmacht confronted the better-equipped and
better-trained US Army. The Germans managed to re-establish a fragile
defensive line but could not stop the US Army from establishing
bridgeheads over the Moselle along Germany's western frontier.
