More about the book
Set against the backdrop of winter 1944/45, the narrative explores the underestimation of Allied forces by German officers, who mistakenly believed the wooded Reichswald Plug would provide sufficient natural defenses. This miscalculation led to the neglect of the Siegfried Line, leaving it vulnerable as tensions escalated. The story delves into the strategic misjudgments and the implications of overconfidence during a critical moment in World War II.
