  • ""Conventional wisdom holds that the Allies, due to some supply problems, poor theater strategy, and inter-Allied squabbling, lost their opportunity to finish the Nazis in the early fall of 1944 ... Readers more familiar with the details of that period recall debate among the Allied generals about a 'narrow thrust' versus a 'broad advance' toward Germany. The narrow thrust advocated by the British field marshals would have concentrated the limited supply of Allied strength into a single 'full-blooded' thrust north of the Ardennes and into the heart of Germany. Some American generals proposed giving the rampaging U.S. Third Army more supply and letting its commander perform a similar feat through Lorraine and into the Saar. Instead, Eisenhower, and more properly his Allied SHEAF staff, promulgated what has been dubbed a 'broad front strategy.' That strategy dictated that the Allies complete a continuous front from the North Sea to the Swiss border ... Was this a war-winning theater strategy? Or did Eisenhower's two principal army group commanders, Field Marshal Montgomery and General Bradley, botch this plan in its execution? This will be examined closely"--Preface."
