General Patton's granddaughter was there and when it was her turn to speak, she quoted his rain prayer. I swear to God(and I almost never use the Lord's name in vain), but the rain frickin stopped immediately. One of the craziest and coolest things I've ever seen. God bless General Patton.

The Americans did a far better job. Eisenhower and every intelligence officer on the Allied side got snookered by the German planners. However, having gained strategic surprise, the Germans fell short on everything else. The supreme tactical skill of the Panzer divisions was still there, but they got bogged down by a week road network and stout ad hoc American defenses. The German infantry were badly led and under-trained. They failed to clear out the corridors of advance for the Panzers and that allowed American reinforcements to reach most of the vital crossroads before the Germans got there.
@midlandredux7 жыл бұрын
Eisenhower, for all that he is lambasted for getting surprised in the Ardennes, reacted coolly and efficiently to the massive attack and mostly got his reinforcements where they were needed. He was no Manstein or Rommel, but he kept his generals under control and his orders on the second and third day, although no one could know it for sure at the time, doomed the German offensive to failure.

When I was a youngster the movie "Battleground" was my favorite war movie. I always thought the reply to the Germans was something other than "Nuts!". In 1963 as a young soldier I was assigned to the 11th Air Assault Division (test). General Kinnard was the division commander. After the air assault testing the division would be renamed the First Cavalry Division and ordered to Vietnam with Maj. General H.W.O. Kinnard as division commander. Gen. Kinnard was the technical advisor for the movie "Battleground". Many years after returning from Vietnam I attended a First Cavalry Div. reunion. At the banquet I asked Gen. Kinnard if Nuts was really the reply. He told me the story on how Nuts became the reply to the Germans. I really can say I heard it from the horses mouth.

A couple of comments here about Doc Rowe and Winters keeping an eye on him, but no-one commenting on why it's this specific scene in particular: the Bastards of Bastogne have all seen carnage and their bravery for holding the line should obviously be commended... but this small scene is about Rowe knowing, more than anyone in the company, about the horrors that warfare can do to a human body. Rowe has seen it all, been there first hand while people scream for their mothers as their guts hang out- and Winters, being as smart as he is, knows this and knows that the colonel's speech has a very different affect on him than the rest of the men. So on the one hand you have this cool scene of stubborn bravery we can get all gung-ho about in this comments section, but this subtly is countered by a message about the futility and savagery of war. Rowe knows more about that than anyone else in the scene. And that's why he's sat apart, that's why he's not cheering and that's why Winters is keeping an eye on him during the speech.
