Wow, that gives me chills! It’s like seeing the maps with Gen. Jodl’s hand-drawn troop movement orders.

Note the reference to Hitler taking Guderian's mobile reserve behind Warsaw and sending it to Hungary. He has thrown away yet another army, one that he will soon sorely need.

Interesting that all Hitler's senior commanders are now recommending discontinuing the offensive. Henkster was right that this thing was doomed when the northern shoulder was jammed at Elsenborn and the southern shoulder jammed by Patton. The stubborn resistance at St. Vith and Bastogne and a number of other places has completely derailed the schedule. And not finding any gas, of course.
