Half-heartedly following this exchange, it occurs to me that no one
person,
group, or even army can rightfully take credit for anything other than
their own
relatively tiny part in the overall picture. If you want to get downright
silly
about it, nothing that happened in the ETO would have happened if we in
the MTO
hadn't had Kesselring and his troops tied up in Italy. Those extra Heer
troops
might have had a decisive influence on the outcome of our invasion
efforts.


Except that we'd have had all those US, British and Canadian
troops that were tried down in Italy available for the campaign
