	Wach Am Rhein
		Yet Hitler was convinced the war could still be decided in the Reich's favor in the west.
		A massive surprise counterattack — deceptively code-named "Wacht am Rhein" (Watch on the Rhine) - against the weakly held Ardennes sector of the American front was prepared.
		This new edition of Wacht am Rhein presents extensive modifications to the combat, artillery and supply subsystems of the first edition in order to better depict tactical and operational warfare at this scale.

		Rhein tugs were therefore lengthened to create more space for longer steam boilers, bigger engines, bunker and crew accomodation.
		The "Wacht am Rhein VIII" was built in 1893 as a Rhein tug by the P. Boele Shipyard at Slikkerveer in Holland.
		She was a tug powered by a coal fired boiler,a compound engine developing 300 IHP and was designed specially for the middle part of the river Rhein which has lots of bends and very strong currents.

		Divisions listed for Wacht am Rhein could be committed only if they became involved in a fight while assembling in their future attack positions, although an exception could be made in the event of Allied airborne landings.
		Now the C-in-C West was responsible for two types of Wacht am Rhein divisions, those in the line which he must relieve for rest and refitting, and those which had been organized or rehabilitated in the Reserve Army and dispatched to Rundstedt's command.
		The upshot of the Allied offensive in Lorraine was that two panzer-type divisions scheduled for Wacht am Rhein became irretrievably embroiled in the losing battle being waged by Army Group G, while the elite Panzer Lehr Division limped back to its assembly area much reduced in strength and with badly shaken morale.

		In dieser Zeit fing der damalige französische Regierungschef Adolphe Thiers an darüber zu schwadronieren, dass der Rhein die französische Ostgrenze sein müsse und verursachte damit einen Sturm der Entrüstung (Rheinkrise).
		Es ist kein "Angriffslied", denn der Rhein sollte ja nur verteidigt werden und es ist auch weit weniger martialisch als z.

	Die Wacht am Rhein - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Die Wacht am Rhein (English: The Watch/Guard on the Rhine) is a German patriotic anthem.
		The song's title was also used as the codename for the World War II German offensive in 1944 known today as the Battle of the Bulge.
		The tune for the alma mater of Yale University, "Bright College Years" [1] was taken from Carl Wilhelm's "Die Wacht am Rhein", with new lyrics written by Henry Durand in 1881 to the "splendid tune" [2].

	Netaji Subhash Chandra Bose with Japan during World War II
		The Imphal Operation was the final offensive of the East Asia War, mounted by three Burma-based Japanese divisions, and one INA division.
		The operation has often been compared to the operation Wacht am Rhein or the Battle of the Bulge, which was the final all-out drive launched by Germany towards Ardennes on the Western Front, from December 1944 to January 1945.
		If the German push towards Ardennes was Wacht am Rhein, the Japanese-Indian thrust against Imphal might be called "Wacht am Chindwin" although the official Japanese code-name for the action was most prosaic: Operation "U".

	Chapter 2-THE ARDENNES: BATTLE OF THE BULGE
		Wacht am Rhein was a cover name, chosen to give the impression that the plan was for a defense at the Rhine.
		The forces available for Wacht am Rhein, he wrote, were "extremely weak in comparison to the enemy and the zone of action"; then he voiced his "grave doubts whether it would be possible to hold the ground won, unless the enemy is completely destroyed."
		By 20 November, divisions earmarked for Wacht am Rhein were in the line east of Aachen, and it appeared that still others would have to be used against Patton at Metz.

		During the Great War he represented the "Daily News" on the Western Front and for a time in the East.
		He claimed the title of "Friedens-Kaiser," just as many have chosen to call our Edward VII "The Peace-Maker." The most mighty storm of cheering was reserved for the Crown Prince, known to be at variance with his father in longing to test his imagined genius on the field.
		So back in a taxi I was sent, though protected by only one policeman, who kept his revolver in a more respectful position, and convoyed me to the backdoor of the hotel, uttering mystic words at intervals when we had to pass through the cordons of cavalry drawn up for defence of our Embassy.

		At the Congress at Vienna (1815), Prussia obtained the rule over the left side of the river (Wacht am Rhein), while the right side remained under the rule of Nassau.
		The advantages that the French administration had brought about were largely abolished in the Rhine province (since 1830) and the Ständestaat, the old class system with its aristocracy, supremacy of the towns and the class of the farmers was re-established.
		After the Prussian-Austrian war (1866), Prussia also annected Nassau's territories on the right side of the Rhine.

		His Wacht am Rhein (Watch on the Rhine) plan for splitting the Allied armies before they could reach and cross the Rhine was an audacious gamble fit to rank with Montgomery's 'Market Garden'.
		The massing of three armies - 6th SS Panzer, 5th Panzer and 7th Panzer, a total of 20 divisions of which seven were armoured - was a masterpiece made possible, only by the belated placing of the Reich on a full war footing.
		Piper himself was tried as a war criminal and convicted, but later was released.

		Numerous German prisoners of war were captured and all seemed to have much higher morale than usual.

	What Was the Battle of the Bulge?
		The "Battle of the Bulge" is the popular name for the Ardennes Offensive during World War II.
		The German plan was code-named "Wacht am Rhein" or "Watch on the Rhine" as a means of deceiving the Allies into thinking that it would be defensive in nature.
		By late 1944, the Axis powers were clearly losing the war, and the failure of this final offensive all but ended their hopes.

		Up and down the wide road of Unter den Linden crowds paced incessantly by day and night, singing the German war songs: "Was blasen die Trompeten!" which is the finest; "Deutschland, Deutschland ueber Alles" which comes next, and "Die Wacht am Rhein," which was the most popular, because most clearly defensive against the secular enemy.
		An indescribable crowd so blocked the streets about the Admiralty, the War Office, and the Foreign Office, that at one o'clock in the morning I had to drive in my car by other streets to get home.
		Two days later I reached Kashgar, and on the road met a jigit, a mounted messenger, sent out by Sir George Macartney to confirm the news of the war; but still there was no mention of a British participation, though that was anticipated.

		If there is a unifying argument throughout this often-diverse body of information, it is that Wacht am Rhein was a losing proposition from the start.
		It was a fatal blow to the timetable and indeed, by the evening of day three (December 18), General Gerd von Rundstedt was already certain that Wacht am Rhein had failed.
		Even if they had broken through, however, Parker argues that German forces were so low on fuel at the start of the offensive that they might have been able to make it to the Meuse, but certainly not get over it.
