No French refuges or people who has been to France could have told them they were tall?
It wasn’t just a matter of them being tall. Those hedgerows had been there hundreds of years. They were extremely dense and impossible to penetrate. It wasn’t until a soldier who was a farmer back home had the bright idea to weld pieces of scrap iron to a tank and essentially turn it into a bush hog that the allies were able to break out of the hedgerows.

I am well aware of that. I just don’t know how we didn’t prepare or at least know about the scale of the hedgerows.
