The Allies advance on an extremely large front. Why?

Because Ike had no combat experience and wanted a “safe” strategy.


Maybe the answer is “because you can”. I imagine that Hitler would have preferred an extremely large front line. You only do this when you have the resources to do so.

Is there anything wrong with a “safe” strategy?

Hindsight is 20/20. Ike did a magnificent job.
