Previous - Germany Breaks Armistice (CYOAH) In a stunning move, Manstein is able to utterly destroy the American positions in France, and divides the occupying army, capturing the original beachheads of the American invasion fleet near Bordeaux, and the encirclement of the US Army. Patton is captured, as is over three million men in the two pockets. Without reinforcements or supplies, both halves surrender after three weeks, after Patton killed himself out of shame. It is hailed as the greatest German victory of its history. created by Tbguy1992 20:53, September 3, 2010 (UTC)
