Why Eisenhower Refused to Take Berlin in 1945
April 1945. The US 9th Army is just 50 miles from Berlin. The road is open, and General George S. Patton and Winston Churchill are demanding a rapid advance to capture the capital of the Third Reich before the Red Army arrives. But the Supreme Commander, Dwight D. Eisenhower, issues a shocking order: Halt at the Elbe River. Why did the American army refuse to advance on Berlin? Was Eisenhower politically naive, or was he a pragmatic genius who saved 100,000 American lives? In this video, we explore the brutal mathematics of urban combat, the secret political agreements of the Yalta Conference, and the incredible tension inside the Allied High Command. Discover the true story behind Eisenhower's controversial decision to pivot south, leaving the apocalyptic Battle of Berlin to Marshal Zhukov and the Soviet Union.
