Dietrich disobeyed the order and attacked across the canal, since the Allies had higher ground and were looking down on his positions.

Dietrich disobeyed the order and attacked across the canal, since the Allies had higher ground and were looking down on his positions.A bad order disobeyed by a commander in the field. Happening this early in the campaign, not a good sign for future operations.
