Talking about his new history of this vital campaign, Anthony Tucker-Jones returns to WW2TV to describe the race against time as the Germans fought to stave off the inevitable. It was essential that the Germans held the west bank in order to protect the Rhine crossings at Cologne, Bonn, Koblenz and Remagen. What was the German plan for this period?

His work has also been published in an array of magazines and online. He regularly appears on television and radio commenting on current and historical military matters.
