re: #104 Wendell Zurkowitz ((slave to the waffle light))

the point was that it was all a big crap-shoot: either seize the oil or go down fighting.

battle of the bulge was that on a small scale: the entire success of offensive posited capturing enemy fuel supplies first in Spa, then in Liege.

Looking back, there were so many little things that could have gone horribly wrong for the Allies and horribly right for the Reich.
