Description

During the Battle of the Bulge the Allies became understandably nervous and Hitler hoped to capitalize on German momentum with a topsecret special operation that he named Operation Greif This mission would utilize German soldiers trained in sabotage techniques and disguised in American and British uniforms and have them cross Allied lines to hold strategic targets for the German advance while destroying communication lines and ammunition depots Most importantly they would cause chaos and confusion by misdirecting the enemy as Hitler explained in his orders I want you to command a group of American and British troops and get them across the Meuse and seize one of the bridges Not my dear Skorzeny real Americans or British I want you to create special units wearing American and British uniforms They will travel in captured Allied tanks Think of the confusion you could cause I envisage a whole string of false orders which will upset communications and attack morale
