Hadn’t thought about that but certainly a valid point. The supply lines were certainly overstretched and the Red Balkl Express under-supplied. I didn’t like Eisenhower giving priority, including supplies Patton needed, to Montgomery. The little Poppycock general cost us many lives. Montgomery was wrong on Dieppe, wrong on Market Garden, and wrong on a lot of things including Sicily and Bastogne. He only won El Alamein because the British Code Breakers at Bletchly Park intercepted the Italian supply orders for Rommel in North Africa. the British navy and RAF sank the supply ships sent from Italy to North Africa. Montgomery got the credit but he never could even catch Rommel whose withdrawal and escape were a lesson in military genius for all to see. My opinion, anyway.
Montgomery should have also cleared the islands leading into Antwerp instead of launching Market Garden. Opening that port would have served the Allies a lot more. You are absolutely correct on North AFrica. Sending Rommel’s supplies to the bottom of the sea and bombing the long lonely road through the desert was what doomed Rommel.
