You are kidding of course, but there are probably some here who don't know that the petrol drum incident did really happen.
This incident did happened for 50%. And the story is that the Americans blow the fuel dump. But.. not a single German tank or infantry man was even near. The German objective was the town of Trois Ponts and the bridges over the Salm and Ambleve river to the east of it. And not the fuel dump north of Stavelot.
So the Americans wasted a lot of tax money.
