Description
A trilogy of World War II (WWII) battlefield tour films which include "The Americans on D-Day," "The Americans on Hell's Highway," and "The Americans in the Bulge." With its fast-paced tour of the battlefields of Europe, the film series engages a wide audience interested in history and travel. Unlike most war documentaries, this series is filmed in the exact locations, and weather conditions, that existed when the actions took place. The charismatic host of the trilogy is Ellwood von Seibold, a surprisingly agile and energetic 63 year-old who literally runs, climbs and crawls through Europe At many of these stops, von Seibold's narration is punctuated with short archival clips, animated maps, re-enactments and interviews from World War 2 (WW2) veterans sharing their harrowing memories. Von Seibold received an honorary rank of Captain in the US Army for his tireless work to keep American WWII history alive. THE AMERICANS ON D-DAY: The invasion of Normandy marked the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany. With Allied boots on the ground in France, Hitler's fortress Europe would collapse in less than a year. THE AMERICANS ON HELL'S HIGHWAY: Operation Market Garden is one of the most controversial and misunderstood campaigns of World War II. Although U.S. troops met all their objectives, the campaign was a failure. THE AMERICANS IN THE BULGE: Against great odds, American soldiers played a vital role in defeating the German war machine as it made one final, desperate gamble to throw the Allied offensive into strategic disarray.
