Operation Herbstnebel ( Northwest Europe ) Unternehmen Herbstnebel ( " Operation Autumn Mist " ) was an offensive planned by German Field Marshal Walter Model and his Army Group B operational staff in late 1944 during World War II . It envisaged a German Army attack targeting the Allied forces in eastern Belgium and Luxembourg , east of the Meuse River . Concept of the operation . " Herbstnebel " was created as an alternative to " Wacht am Rhein " , Adolf Hitler ' s plan to seize Antwerp and bottle up all Allied forces in Belgium and the Netherlands . Model , along with all the other senior commanders involved , believed this was unachievable given Germany ' s limited resources at the time . Thus he devised a less ambitious scenario that would not cross the Meuse , but still deliver a sharp defeat to the Allies . Like " Wacht am Rhein " , Model ' s attack would be launched in the Ardennes sector , but would then turn north instead of continuing west and northwest . Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt commanding OB West , had come up with a similar plan , " Fall Martin " ( " Case Martin " ) . Von Rundstedt ' s plan called for a two - pronged attack instead of a single thrust , but in both plans the area of operations remained east of the Meuse . Model and von Rundstedt combined their plans to present a joint solution to Hitler , called by Model the " small solution " . Hitler rejected it in favour of his " big solution " , which formed the basis for the Battle of the Bulge . Confusingly , Operation " Wacht am Rhein " was itself renamed " Herbstnebel " in early December , although it remains most well known by its original name . The actual plan of attack was unchanged .
