The “Broad Front Strategy” was picked by the western allies for a couple of reasons:
1. Politically it was easier. By not selecting a single allied army, American/Canadian/British, it was easier to get all the allies to cooperate.
2. The western allies were just not up to mobile warfare on a large scale. A penetration on a narrow front can be cut off and surrounded and the army lost.
Tanks are best used against clerks and cooks.
You know, I’ve never really studied the Soviet advance to Berlin.
Was it broad front or concentrated?
