Omar Bradley badly misjudged this one. Interesting that Patton pretty much saw it coming and repositioned his troops accordingly.
Colonel Oscar Koch, Third Army head of G-2 (Intelligence) was top notch. He alerted Patton and Patton acted accordingly.
Patton always had ongoing contingency plans for every possibility.
During the Battle, Bradley was way behind the lines and basically detached from his Armies. Patton ran the show.
