Operation Greif & the EXECUTION of Three German Saboteurs History Traveler Episode 334

When the Battle of the Bulge kicked off on December 16, 1944, there was mass chaos and confusion with the surprise offensive that the Germans had launched through the Ardennes. Adding to this confusion was a group of German commandoes who made up a group called Panzer Brigade 150. As part of something called Operation Greif, these men put on American uniforms and were creating havoc behind the American lines. In this episode, we’re talking a bit about Operation Greif and visiting the execution site and graves of a few of the men involved.
