I guess I am the only person who thinks it was a good idea. All kind of foul ups, really bad luck, equipment failures etc.
It really could have ended the war very quickly. Patton had the same idea.
If Patton was running the thing, he would have been in Nijmegen kicking everyone’s butt.
Patton was sure the operation would fail. It featured a very long supply line and many risks of enemy exposure.
