If the ports are over run who refuels, rearms the ships that are now

away in Russia. That is until American Airpower mixed with what little
airpower England had left wiped out their supply lines. Germany was
basically starving to death from 1943 onward and yet damned near turned
the tide at the battle of the bulge. With out American logistics England
and Russia were flat ****ed! Get over it. You fools made bad decisions
and we bailed you out. Now we have made some bad economic decisions and
I doubt any of you will even stir to bail us out. Of course we will turn
this around on our own as we always have in the past.


How did the Allies supply themselves in Normandy without any operational
ports? Since the Germans would not have any operational ports, how
would they supply themselves?


Ah, but the Allies did have operational ports.
They just brought them with them.
