I’m no expert, but I think I’d add “supplies” to your list. Part of the German plan was the rather goofy idea that they’d be able to capture what they needed as they rolled along. For some reason they thought that the retreating Allies would just abandon supply depots, and not destroy them.
Seriously?
I will have to look for evidence of that. If this is true, that they’d capture enough supplies to make it work.
How crazy is that? The allied supply lines were way longer than the German ones I have to believe.
After Normandy, you’d think they would have done everything possible to make operating out of Normandy hell.
More monday morning quarterbacking, but its still interesting.
