He was lucky to have such a competent commander, then. Big Patton fan here.

Patton's G-2 warned him about the build-up, and they were nowhere near the Ardennes. It was that obvious... and everyone who was actually there got blindsided. Disappointing.

He always said it was a love/relationship with Patton. They hated the way he drove them but they also knew he was winning the war by doing it.

He told me many stories about their march north through the blizzard to relieve Bastogne.

The war , like every war was not run perfectly...The media was kinder then..and we prevailed as Hitler had shot us his last best shot and lost. I received a war bond for my birthday present then..
