This is the story of the doomed Nazi spy mission that failed to win the Battle of the Bulge
47% Informative
Operation Grife is the true story of the doomed Nazi spy mission that failed to win the Battle of the Bulge .
Hitler ordered a secret unit to be put together that would pretend to be American troops behind enemy lines, capturing crucial bridges and roads.
This was a crack troop of German soldiers who were under the command of one of Nazi Germany's most infamous tacticians, Otto Scorzani .
German commando spent at least two hours every day practicing English , watching American movies and news reels to pick up slang and affect an American accent.
German troops were even trained in American cultural norms that might otherwise give them away.
Operation Grief was so extreme that it didn't even know what they were training for.
It provoked a overreaction from the American troops, bordering on paranoia.
Four U.S. soldiers were actually killed and dozens more wounded in cases of mistaken identity.
The hysteria would have tragic consequences, though.
The Allies were not impressed by this ruse of war, and they did not take it lightly.
