The German army had a system for predicting what the enemy would do next. Against the British, it worked. Against the Americans, it worked. Against the Soviets, it worked.
Against the Canadians, it broke.
Not once. Not twice. Every single time. And the officers who built that system — professionals who had spent careers perfecting the art of reading armies — could not figure out why. They had the files. They had the intelligence. They even captured a complete battle plan. None of it helped.
The answer had nothing to do with bravery or superior weapons. It was hiding in a detail that German analysts noticed, wrote down, filed under "weakness" — and never looked at again.
What that detail was, and what it cost them from Ortona to the Rhine, is what this video is about.
