During the Battle of the Bulge groups of English speaking German troops in US uniforms in US vehicles, even including tanks, caused considerable confusion and were responsible for the deaths of US soldiers.

"The weather was frightful - bitterly cold and snowing, with a high wind howling through the dark," wrote Gardner Botsford in his 2003 memoir, "A Life of Privilege, Mostly." "To make matters worse, the panzer troops were using a number of captured Sherman tanks still bearing their American markings. You could be shot dead by your own tanks. And there was more. To create even greater chaos, hundreds of German parachutists - English-speaking parachutists, wearing American uniforms - were being dropped in."
