Battlefield (1994)

Episode Overview

This narrative centers on the building and protection of Hitler's extensive three-mile deep network of fortifications, including pillboxes, troop shelters, and anti-tank defenses, stretching along Germany's western border. Referred to as "The Siegfried Line" by the Allies, along with the natural defense provided by the Rhine River, these structures were crucial to Germany's defense strategy on the Western Front. The breakthrough at the Siegfried Line during the Battle of the West Wall, followed by the crossing of the Rhine at Remagen, marked the beginning of the end for German resistance in the West.
