Many American officers were outraged about the Battle of the Bulge. They waited however for the war to end before they let their feelings be know.One American officer ( and he was not alone ) described the battle as a costly and tragic disaster that was wholly unnecessary, and due to the utter failure of :
1. The SHAEF, Headquarters Twelfth US Army Group and
2. Headquarters 21 Army Group British.
The SHAEF was the Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Forces.
Many officers were more than highly critical of the military intelligence that let the soldiers lose so may troops. Many claimed that the intelligence failure was worse than Pearl Harbor.
