The presentations from this week were very informative. I enjoyed learning about Operation Varsity and seeing how everything is beginning to lead to the end of the war. It amazes me how just one small decision can change the entire war. As I have studied the allies capture of the bridge at Remagen, the impact that one decision can have has been really evident.
The time the allies spent in the forest in SE Germany was pretty intense. I can see why so many men struggled during this time. It must have been terrifying being in that forest and not having any control over what was happening.
It was mentioned that during the battle of Budapest psychological warfare was used more often. What types of psychological warfare were used? Were these methods very effective? Did both sides utilize them?

The various methods of psychological warfare that I've run across in my research have been things from propaganda leaflets (always a popular option, still used today) to the radio broadcasts of both sides (ie "Tokyo Rose")
