What if the gap had been closed in a timely fashion and the german troops are for the most part captured? What happens on the west front and does the war shorten?
The deliberated 24hr dwadling allowed up to 100,000 men to escape, including the remnants of two SS-division that later defeated the 6th british-AB at Arnhem.
I'm just checking that we aren't closing the gap any earlier.
You mean: Checking why we aren't closing the gap any earlier?
The answer to that is lack of initiative and overcaution or as I prefer to call it: dwadling!
