Difficult to see how it could fail. A combat veteran, well trained and equipped army with a surfeit of air power vs a poorly trained and equipped army with negligible air support.
But lets go with it. Churchill & Brooke were both opposed to the ANVIL and DRAGOON operations, wanting to use the combat and ground forces in Italy and the Balkans. Had they got their way...
But surely there will be something good happening for the Allies in Italy and/or the Balkans, right? If you use all those troops there, something's gotta give. I guess.
They're not going to break through Brenner.
