From a German perspective, today's 7th Army map is really scary. There is no coherent front and the units are tattered remnants. Patton is already running for the Breton ports. Panzer Group West still has a coherent front but is now vulnerable to flank attack.

The war of attrition has ground down the German units, who have no replacements. Meanwhile, the torrent of allied troops from Britain continues. Soon, they will have to cope with 9th Army.

This is what Von Runstedt and Rommel knew would result from a static, give no ground defense, but they could not persuade Hitler.
