Things are not going well for the Americans on Leyte, though, but they&#8217;re even worse for the Chinese as both Guilin and Liuzhou fall to the Japanese. As for the Soviets, they are busy making big plans for a gigantic offensive to drive in to Germany when the new year comes.<br \/>\n<!--more--><\/p>\n<p>Join us on Patreon: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TimeGhostHistory\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/TimeGhostHistory<\/a><br \/>\nOr join The TimeGhost Army directly at: <a href=\"https:\/\/timeghost.tv\/signup\/\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/timeghost.tv<\/a>  <\/p>\n<p>Follow WW2 day by day on Instagram @ww2_day_by_day &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ww2_day_by_day\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ww2_day_by_day<\/a><br \/>\nFollow Timeghost History on Instagram &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/timeghosthistory\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/timeghosthistory<\/a><br \/>\nBetween 2 Wars: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list=PLrG5J-K5AYAU1R-HeWSfY2D1jy_sEssNG\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/playlist?list&#8230;<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Source list: <a href=\"http:\/\/bit.ly\/WW2sources\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">http:\/\/bit.ly\/WW2sources<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Archive footage: Screenocean\/Reuters &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.screenocean.com\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.screenocean.com<\/a> <\/p>\n<p>Hosted by: Indy Neidell<br \/>\nDirector: Astrid Deinhard<br \/>\nProducers: Astrid Deinhard and Spartacus Olsson<br \/>\nExecutive Producers: Astrid Deinhard, Indy Neidell, Spartacus Olsson<br \/>\nCreative Producer: Marek Kami\u0144ski<br \/>\nCommunity Management: Ian Sowden<br \/>\nWritten by: Indy Neidell<br \/>\nResearch by:  Indy Neidell<br \/>\nMap animations by: Daniel Weiss<br \/>\nMap research by: Sietse Kenter<br \/>\nEdited by: Karolina Do\u0142\u0119ga<br \/>\nArtwork and color grading by: Miko\u0142aj Uchman<br \/>\nSound design by: Marek Kami\u0144ski<br \/>\nColorizations by:<br \/>\nDaniel Weiss<br \/>\nMiko\u0142aj Uchman<br \/>\nKLIMBIM<br \/>\nCarlos Ortega Pereira, BlauColorizations &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/blaucolorizations\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/blaucolorizations<\/a><br \/>\nJaris Almazani (Artistic Man) &#8211; <a href=\"https:\/\/instagram.com\/artistic.man\" rel=\"noopener\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/instagram.com\/artistic.man<\/a><\/p>\n<p>00:00 Intro<br \/>\n01:01 Recap<br \/>\n01:22 Breakneck Ridge on Leyte<br \/>\n07:10 Japanese take Guilin and Liuzhou in China<br \/>\n08:43 Allies secure Walcheren Island<br \/>\n09:56 Allied attacks in Hurtgen Forest<br \/>\n14:35 Patton\u2019s 3rd Army\u2019s new offensive near Metz<br \/>\n18:02 Red Army attacks toward Budapest<br \/>\n19:44 Soviet Plans for a Berlin Offensive<br \/>\n22:56 Allied attacks in Italy and a few notes<\/p>\n<p>Image sources:<br \/>\nAustralian War Memorial<br \/>\nNational Archives NARA<br \/>\nBundesarchiv<br \/>\nFortepan: 175118, 78294<br \/>\nImperial War Museums: TR 1037<\/p>\n<p>Soundtracks from Epidemic Sound:<br \/>\n&#8220;Break Free&#8221; &#8211; Fabien Tell<br \/>\n&#8220;Dark Beginning&#8221; &#8211; Johan Hynynen<br \/>\n&#8220;Force Matrix&#8221; &#8211; Jon Bjork<br \/>\n&#8220;It&#8217;s Not a Game&#8221; &#8211; Philip Ayers<br \/>\n&#8220;Last Man Standing 3&#8221; &#8211; Johannes Bornl\u00f6f<br \/>\n&#8220;Leave It All Here&#8221; &#8211; Fabien Tell<br \/>\n&#8220;March Of The Brave 4&#8221; &#8211; Rannar Sillard<br \/>\n&#8220;March Of The Brave 10&#8221; &#8211; Rannar Sillard<br \/>\n&#8220;Other Sides of Glory&#8221; &#8211; Fabien Tell<br \/>\n&#8220;Please Hear Me Out&#8221; &#8211; Philip Ayers<br \/>\n&#8220;Potential Redemption&#8221; &#8211; Max Anson<br \/>\n&#8220;Rememberance&#8221; &#8211; Fabien Tell<br \/>\n&#8220;The Inspector 4&#8221; &#8211; Johannes Bornl\u00f6f<br \/>\n&#8220;Weapon of Choice&#8221; &#8211; Fabien Tell<br \/>\n&#8220;Wicked Games&#8221; &#8211; Philip Ayers<\/p>\n<p>A TimeGhost chronological documentary produced by OnLion Entertainment GmbH.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>World War Two Published 11 Nov 2023 The struggle for Hurtgen forest, one tiny piece at a time, continues.
