FROM THE DUST JACKET FLAP: This is the story of the triumphal progress of General George S. Patton's magnificent Third Army across Nazi-occupied Europe and into Hitler's redoubt in the last year of World War II. Their actions gave a new dimension to the term "fluid warfare". Only one order was needed: seek out the enemy, trap and destroy him. From logistics to planning, from battle winning ideas to sheer drive, the Armour, Infantry and Aircraft worked together to meet every challenge that amazed even the Germans who considered themselves the masters of the Blitzkrieg
