Task Force Baum - Patton’s Insane Rescue Mission 1945

In March 1945 General Patton ordered a lightning fast mission behind German lines by a small task force from the US 4th Armored Division - its objective - to liberate hundreds of American POWs in a camp 40 miles inside German territory. So began Task Force Baum, Patton’s ’mission too far’.
