Hitlers letzte große Offensive: Was geschah hier im Januar 1945?

Hitler wants the major offensive: In my search for the roots of Operation Nordwind, I'm on location in Alsace. First, I'll visit the monument and explore the significance of the fighting in the winter of 1944/45 for the region. Then we'll see the Esch Casemate, a key site on the Maginot Line. Afterward, the tour continues to the Schönenburg Fortress, one of the most famous artillery fortifications of the Maginot Line. There, I'll show you bunkers, battle remnants, and the historical context surrounding Hitler's last major offensive in the West. An exciting journey to the original sites of Operation Nordwind, the Maginot Line, the Esch Casemate, and the Schönenburg Fortress – historical, direct, and without unnecessary dramatization. I expressly distance myself from violence and all forms of extremism – especially right-wing ideologies.
