Описание: In November 1944, General George Patton and his intelligence officer Colonel Oscar Koch accurately predicted a massive German offensive in the Ardennes—six weeks before it happened. They warned Eisenhower's headquarters repeatedly, documenting German troop movements, radio silence from panzer divisions, and prisoner interrogations mentioning offensive preparations. Every warning was dismissed. SHAEF and Twelfth Army Group intelligence believed Germany was too weak for major offensive action. When the Battle of the Bulge erupted on December 16th exactly where Patton predicted, it cost over 80,000 American casualties. Patton's Third Army counterattacked in 48 hours because they had prepared based on Koch's intelligence. Eisenhower's staff had buried that same intelligence for weeks. This is the story of how institutional bias and strategic optimism blinded Allied command to accurate intelligence—and the soldiers who paid the price for that failure.
