Boys. They send boys.
Still the largest battle in American history
“Nuts”
In our defense, who could have possibly imagined that Germany would perform a surprise attack through the Ardennes?
Would this have any impact at the war at all, even if Germany won some ground, besides buying a little more time, before the inevitable happens?
I really can’t imagine any scenario where Germany could have won anything with all these supply chain issues and many many other problems.
