Rebel Yell -> RE: Getting my ASS KICKED in Wacht Am Rhein (2/4/2022 1:50:47 AM)

quote:
ORIGINAL: Roger5 Just before the start of the offensive, the name was changed to "Unternehmen Herbstnebel", ie "operation autumn fog". So "Wacht Am Rhein" was not the name the Germans used at the beginning of the offensive. Actually, Herbstnebel was Model's much less ambitious plan that he thought might be achievable, but Hitler rejected the "small solution" and went with the "big solution". Wacht am Rhein was the plan that was finalized and attempted.
