This should have been a clue for the top brass on the allied side.

To move the troops swiftly most public and private conveyances in Munich were commandeered – automobiles and trucks of members of the National Socialist Motor Corps, municipal buses, brewery trucks and the special auto-train “Deutschland,” comprising a fleet of hundreds of trucks and including wireless, canteen and hospital trucks. Even taxicabs apparently were pressed into service, for only a a few of them remain in the streets.

The Germans weren't as powerful as the propaganda would lead them to believe.

Comandeering brewery trucks, now that's commitment!
