I saw your other posts on this option, which is why I like it.Carl Schwamberger said:6th AG could still force the Rhine midwinter and start a wide swing NE into Bavaria & points north.
Given OTL German preconceptions, it couldn't have been too hard to pull that off.Carl Schwamberger said:Best case for the Allies is their deception ops cause the German leaders to think the southern attack is more important & the eventual northern attack to be smaller and less important.
So it's credible even OTL?Carl Schwamberger said:had the Pacific offensives been postphoned significantly, or one of them canceled completely there could have been enough amphibious lift in the ETO to have both the April Anvil operation, and a five beachead Neptune Operation. I am unsure if a May Neptune date is possible. That might be overly optimistc, but it would certainly put the Allies in a better position vs Germany by July 1944.
I've been presuming a generally greater pool of LC, so no ops get cancelled elsewhere.
