Gotthard, the generals had their bacon to save so naturally they piled all the faults on top of the obvious target, who could not defend himself anyway. The Other Side of the Hill is a strange book, where the German generals seem quite happy to spread their "not me, I knew better" view, aided by an author quite happy to hear them say what he wanted to hear.
