WNU,
There is a story that when the US staff officers handed MCauliffe's reply to the German commander's repsresentitive he read it and said he didn't understand "nuts". Whereupon the US officers said it meant "We'll kill every goddamn German who comes our way" at this the German officer saluted and replied "understood".
