Because Army Group B's composition had been so weakened compared to the earlier plans, the feint offensive by the 6th Army was in danger of stalling immediately, since the Belgian defences on the Albert Canal position were very strong.
Da Heeregruppe B var blevet svækket så meget, sammenlignet med tidligere planer, var det tyske skinangreb fra 6. arme i fare for at gå i stå med det samme, fordi de belgiske forsvarsstillinger langs Albert kanalen var meget stærke.
