Hitler's Last Stand

Tonight’s “Himmler's Folly” pushes the war’s chaos to a new level. As the Battle of the Bulge rages, Himmler orders a sudden thrust into France, hoping to catch the fresh American divisions off‑guard. The episode opens with frantic maps and terse orders, then cuts to a ragged SS column slipping through the Ardennes under cover of night. Viewers watch inexperienced US troops scramble to form a defensive line around a tiny village that suddenly becomes the front line. The clash is raw: artillery thunders, soldiers stumble over frozen fields, and a handful of officers try to keep order as panic spreads. Meanwhile, back in occupied towns, Nazi loyalists tighten their grip, forcing civilians into a grim routine of curfews and ration queues. “Hitler’s Last Stand” blends battlefield tension with the stark reality of life under a collapsing regime, delivering a tight, hard‑hitting hour that keeps the war’s human cost front and centre.
