Why Patton Trusted One Man When Everyone Else Was Wrong

December 1944. An emergency conference at Eisenhower's headquarters. German forces are pouring through the Ardennes. The 101st Airborne is surrounded at Bastogne. Every general in the room is calculating how long it will take to respond. Then Patton says 48 hours. The other generals think he's insane. What they don't know is that Patton has already been preparing for eleven days. The man responsible for everything? An officer so unknown that most histories of World War II don't even mention his name. This is the story of Oscar Koch. The man Patton trusted when everyone else was wrong.
