General Patton had a chaplain prepare a “weather prayer” that was handed out to the 250,000 troops involved in the Battle of the Bulge in World War II: “Almighty and most merciful father, we humbly beseech the, of thy great goodness, to restrain these immoderate rains with which we have had to contend. Grant us fair weather for battle. Graciously hearken to us as soldiers who call upon Thee that armed with Thy power, we may advance from victory to victory, and crush the oppression and wicked wickedness of our enemies, and establish Thy justice among men and nations. Amen.” did this one prayer turn the tide? What would the likely outcome have been if the Germans succeeded in their plan to destroy the port of Antwerp, the only fully operational seaport on the entire European coastline at the time and was critical for supplying the Allied war effort on the mainland?
