Germany Mocked America’s Army - Then the U.S. Broke the Wehrmacht

In 1939, German intelligence dismissed the United States as a nation of businessmen with a tiny, unprepared army-too divided, too soft, and too far away to change the war in Europe. But from Kasserine Pass and El Guettar to Normandy, the Red Ball Express, Bastogne, and Patton’s extraordinary winter counterattack, the U.S. transformed early defeat into a devastating system of mass production, precision artillery, decentralized command, and relentless logistics. This documentary reveals how Germany’s fatal misreading of American power became one of the greatest intelligence failures of World War II.
