Patton 360° (History Channel)

[Bada0Bing]

Putting viewers right in the middle of the action with one of the most complicated and aggressive military men of all time, General George S. Patton charges through the gate in… PATTON 360.

They called him "Old Blood and Guts." Brash and brutal, feared and fearless, and decidedly not politically correct, General George S. Patton, Jr. was perhaps one of America's most controversial World War II patriots. Now, a new HISTORY™ series explores this larger-than-life military icon in the action-packed, 10-part series PATTON 360.

PATTON 360 marches in on the heels of the fast-paced hit series BATTLE 360, using cutting-edge animation, archival footage, and interviews with veterans of Patton's Army to immerse viewers into the battles of World War II. Following Patton's battle trail through two continents, we see the war as Patton and his hard-fighting troops did, from the fox holes of North Africa to the battlefields of Normandy to the horrors of Nazi prison camps.

This is a fantastic show. I DVR'd the series and now I'm working thru them. It seems like the battles in Africa are somewhat forgotten in WWII discussions.

Is this made the same way the show was about the USS Enterprise? If so that will be great! What night?

Yep, made by the same team. Not sure what night, my dvr has been recording them for a while.

Patton was quite a character. It's got me wanting to watch the movie again.

I watched an episode online last night and it was great. I love this kind of stuff.

Really? The Battle of El Alamein is one of the battles I remember from my college courses. Outside of the Battle of the Bulge it was the one we covered most. It's also a staple in most WWII video games along with Gazala
