i like the Idea of a WW1 D-day on Belgium coast
but there some problems, but first the Advantages
that the west Front line in 1917 as Red line
Its end on map top coastline at Nieuwpoort near Operation Hush landing point Middelkerke.
for Germans the landing would be a surprise
at first !
its depence how fast the British Troops can deploy on beach and move to Nieuwpoort.
and how the supply are secured against German attacks
so they successfully lands on Middelkerke and move to Nieuwpoort wat next ?
if landing is well Coordinated with Frontline force
the German Front line at Nieuwpoort is under heavy Attack.
unknow to them move British troop from behind to
not protecet Side of Frontline
over run them and brake frontline
the question
how long takes it that news of British invasion get to German HQ?
and how long takes for Geman force to respond and conterattack
(wat weaken the west Frontline !)
will make the General the same mistake and start to build Trench warfare around Niewpoort
or they start a dynamic Warfare simelar to "Biltzkrieg" and move deep in Belgium
and cut off the German Frontline from supply lines ?
another problem is Middelkerke.
that picture show the Beach of Middelkerke.
is made of fine sand: if wet heavy Tank stuck in it, dry is like desert sand and Trucks gestuk also.
the sea around Middelkerke is Shoal means full of sandbank, the landing pontoon can get shipwreck!
i know the site because, i go there for my holiday
