Nah...the greatest scam was "Deep In The Hurtgen Forest"
Not familiar with that, other then generally as a significant part of the northern offensives.
My favorite knowledge of that time and general area was the Battle of the Bulge. WWII vets who I served with in RVN said the great undisclosed “secret” of that battle was that early German success was mainly due to a large number of troops from what everyone thought was a “safe” area being AWOL in Paris “for the Holidays”!
Where was the scam in the Hurtgen Forrest?”
Are you talking about quidam? Back in the day here at FreeRepublic. Ugh
