Via Life: “American soldiers in a snowy ditch in Belgium during the Battle of the Bulge in 1945. Before the attack, some German troops who were able to speak English disguised themselves as Allied soldiers. They made a point of changing road signs and generally spreading misinformation. (Germans captured engaging in the subterfuge were executed by firing squad.)”
