NUTS!
At the end of December 1944, when Christmas was studying and allies swept across Europe, Hitler realized the ongoing ending.
He needs to do something drastic to turn the wave of the war so he said, "Hey, remember that the things Blitzkrieg we did? Yes, we will do it again!"
So with a giant push through Ardennes (again) Wehrmacht crashed into the ally, catching them unexpectedly and pushed them back quite a lot.
While they couldn't surround allies because they had a few years ago, they created a beautiful bulge (that's why it was called the battle of bulges, although it happened
Located in Hitler's bulge is a Belgian town named Bastogne, where there is a soldier company from the Airborne 101 of the US armed forces.
Terms for a "honor surrender".
The commander of the soldiers surrounded by the soldiers transmitted the message through the radio for his own commander, who was on his back in the Allied territory.
McAuliffe was sleeping when Messenger came and awakens him and reads the German letter.
"They want to surrender?"
"No, sir, they want us to surrender."
The General was angry.
When the clock marked McAuliffe did not know what to answer the Germans, but a colleague of his colleagues said, "What you originally said will hardly defeat."
McAuliffe, a little confused saying, "What do you mean?"
But his colleague said: "Sir, you say 'Nuts'."
An American reaction to Dissemation
So an American reaction has been knocked up, read:
December 22, 1944
When this message is sent, German envoys are slightly confused.
"Is that negative or affirmative?"
American soldiers surrounded, "The answer was decided not to confirm. If you continue this stupid attack, your losses will be huge."
Three days later before any German great attack could happen to Bastogne, General General Patton was able to break the siege with his 3rd army and dispersed the German army around.
"NUTS!"
