In between come the battles in the
hedgerows of Normandy, the breakout at St. - Lô, the Falaise Gap, Patton tearing through France, the liberation of Paris, the attempt to leap the Rhine in Operation Market - Garden, the
near - miraculous German recovery, the battles around Metz and in the Hurtgen Forest, the Battle of the Bulge — the biggest battle in the history of the U.S. Army — the capture of the bridge at Remagen, and finally the overrunning of Germany.
If you go for a country walk you can often feel differences as you walk in fields, up hills, in hollows, by
hedgerows,
near dykes, lakes canal pathways etc..
