The result of such quizzing sometimes caused U.S. military police (MP) to
overreact. On December 21, General Bruce Clarke was stopped on the road out
St. Vith. The MP there said he had been told to keep an eye out for a German
disguised as a one-star general. Clarke did not prove his identity when he
mistakenly identified the Chicago Cubs as an American League team. For 30
minutes, the American general was held in shackles until the errors and
misjudgments were sorted out. The following day, General Bradley was stopped
at a checkpoint and asked to name the capital of Illinois. When Bradley
correctly answered "Springfield," he was detained by a military policeman who
thought Chicago was the state capital.
五星上将布雷德利在二战突出部之役时曾经被当作间谍拘留，
因为检查哨的美国宪兵自己搞错Illinois的首府是那个城市。
布雷德利答的是正确答案Springfield，但是宪兵以为正确答案是芝加哥。
请问一下战史上还有类似这种弄错暗号口令的搞笑例子吗？
