"ArtKramr" wrote What then? The war in central Europe (ETO) could have gotten our full resouces, D Day would have been a year earlier and the war would have been over a lot sooner, German troops in No. Africa and the MTO would have simply been isolated and would died on the vine. Why not? Mainly because we would have been handed our heads, trying to invade in mid-1943. The short reason would be that the Sovs wouldn't have whittled down the Wehrmacht enough at that point to make a Western Front possible. Also the Brits wouldn't go. Churchill and the Imperial General Staff were scared stiff of a direct confrontation with the Wehrmacht based on their experience in 1940. |
