Patton. Loved it when it came out but I’ve learned it was a caricature of the real man. No much better than Battle o the Bulge. patton was a brilliant modern general, not a cartoon figure romantic stuck in the past.

As for Battle of the Bulge, it’s a cartoon but oddly it contains the main elements of what happened. There was a single general who was warning of an impending counterattack, etc.

There was a single general who was warning of an impending counterattack, etc.
As the Germans built up for the attack, they cut their own communications drastically to avoid giving away their plan.
The allies thought the silence indicated they were done and just waiting to surrender.
