As the 90th Infantry Division was heading north into the Battle of the Bulge, its troops were instructed to trade insignia with another division, it might have been the 28th Infantry Division, which was badly battered and was being withdrawn from the Bulge. This was so that the Germans would be caught off guard and not know they were being hit with a fresh division. No sooner had the exchange of insignia been made, then Axis Sally came on the radio and welcomed the 90th Infantry Division. It's a shame she never wrote a book; she would have been a hit at re-enactments like the Reading World War 2 Weekend.
