The Ardennes offensive failed not because of the tactics, but because of stiff individual unit fluid defensive measures by American troops, and a lack of equipment available to the German Army.
The tactics the Wermacht used in the battle were time proven and had been used once before with great success on France in 1940. (Different Wermacht than the 1944 version.) The overall battle itself was a victory on the part of the Americans, but the attack and quick victories in the beginning for the Wermacht is testimony to that style warfare. The American Army, for the most part, was simply powerless to stop it. In one case, Joachin Pieper, commander of 2nd SS Panzer, was within miles of taking the biggest fuel and ammo dump in that part of the theater. If he had, he would have made things very ugly for the US Army. The only thing that stopped Peiper's Panzers was lack of fuel, not the US Army. I look forward to testing some of these tactics... |
