It’s a great time of year to be a sports fan of any sort. Formula 1 comes to Austin in a few weeks, the Blackhawks and Blue Jackets open their NHL seasons tonight, MLB playoffs in full swing, the Colts play tonight, college football in full swing, the weather is beautiful....
My favorite time of year.
As for the logistics, the Germans are not going quietly on the Scheldt. Even Hitler knows Antwerp is the key to victory in the West.
PS: Patton’s woes show me again that the Allies would have been better served to give Devers everything south of the Ardennes and run the logistics through Marseilles. But Devers was the red-headed stepchild, so it wasn’t going to happen.
The rail net south to Marseilles seems to be relatively intact, in contrast to Northern France, which the air forces seem to have chewed up pretty bad.
