German Infiltrators in US Uniforms – The 1944 Operation Greif That Terrified the Allies

Описание: German Infiltrators Dressed As GIs — In December 1944, during the Battle of the Bulge, Hitler unleashed a daring deception: Operation Greif. SS commando Otto Skorzeny trained German troops to pose as American soldiers, speak English, and infiltrate Allied lines. Their mission: capture Meuse bridges and spread chaos. What followed was the most paranoid security crisis in US Army history — exposed by a simple baseball question.

As fake American jeeps rolled through Belgian checkpoints, confusion spread faster than gunfire. Military Police began asking about the World Series, state capitals, and Hollywood gossip. Genuine Americans stumbled; impostors froze. From captured infiltrators to firing squads, from Bastogne to Versailles, this untold story reveals how cultural knowledge became the ultimate weapon of detection.

Through secret orders, false road signs, and fatal mistakes, Operation Greif turned into a psychological war within a war. This documentary revisits the daring disguise, the trials under the Hague Convention, and the human cost behind the paranoia that almost paralyzed the Allies.
