The "Quiet Major" Who Ignored Orders and Saved Patton’s Army

Описание: Everyone believed Hitler was finished in 1944. Commanders laughed off the idea of a German counterattack. But one quiet intelligence officer, Colonel Oscar Koch, sat alone with reports nobody else wanted to believe and saw a massive storm gathering in the Ardennes.

This is the untold true story of "Patton’s G-2," the unsung analyst who predicted the Battle of the Bulge weeks before it happened. While others celebrated, Koch calmly walked into General Patton’s war room and warned that thousands of American soldiers were in mortal danger.

Discover how this quiet man convinced the loudest, most stubborn general in Europe to turn an entire army around in the snow, saving the surrounded troops at Bastogne and changing the course of WWII. It's a powerful lesson in listening to the uncomfortable truth when everyone else is in denial.
