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.

Yup. Patton’s intell knew well in advance that something was up and they made plans to counter it.

BTW, there was about 100 engineers who held up Pipers panzer group.
