It’s amazing to think of American logistical largesse during the war. 400,000 pounds of frozen beef is the spare change of an invasion. Not only that, we keep it frozen and ship it across an ocean. The Germans, Russians and Japanese can only dream of such things.
Maybe a few extra tons of ground round would have helped in the campaign to take Tunis. While preparing the posts for the next month I was reminded of the time in the fall of 1939 when we read day after day about the massive French offensive against the West Wall while Germany was occupied in Poland. The French campaign went on and on unabated, yet somehow the lines showing the positions of the opposing forces on the situation maps remained unchanged. We will see the same sort of thing in North Africa.
