I was going to reply to Jiffy,but it looks as though all the comments have been taken down. Anyhow, thought I'd post this anyway for you Jiffy, in Morgan Housel's Same as Ever book, he refers to the Battle of the Bulge (not weight related!), which was one of Americas deadliest military escapdes. 19000 US soldiers were killed and over 70000 wounded or missing, but the Germans didn't have enough troops to mount a successful counter attack, and the US relied on this to their cost, as the uS generals overlooked how unhinged Hitler had become. He wasn't rational and was living in his own world, detached from reality and reason so it is claimed. So the US got all their planning to a T for the war, but didn't bank on the extent to which Hitler had lost his mind. As one of the aide's said, "If we were fighting reasonable people, they would have surrendered long ago."
