Had the goals for Wacht Am Rhein been more realistic, it would have been catagorized as a success. For example, throwing off the timetable for future allied operations. This then was a success and the German casualties would have been less. But, given that Hitler wanted Antwerp, there was no way that was achievable. Thus, the loss of men and valuable material made it a very dumb move.
