Has anyone ever noticed that General Omar Bradley the senior general over Gen. Patton is seldom mentioned. His lack of leadership and decisions led to the near success of the German attack.

It has been noted perhaps from the outset but for reasons unclear to me, Bradley has always received a pass by the media and historians.

I agree with your assessment of Bradley.
Bradley was a friend of Marshall. That is the reason he survived the possibility of loss of command for his incompetence.
