LOL! A good way to put it.
Any idea what Patton thought about a transfer between Army Groups? I can see the logic.
Would Patton's logistics problems have been eased? I suppose that is academic now that the Scheldte is finally open.
Just a comment about Churchill wanting to cancel Anvil. As we all await what is coming in December, Ike would have been in a huge bind if 6th Army Group were not on the line in France.
I’d thought that with enough effort, the port of Marseilles was not as badly damaged as Brest or Cherbourg, and the main railways up the Rhone Valley could be repaired to handle the capacity for both 3rd and 7th Armies. But maybe not. As long as 3rd Army was administratively under Bradley’s 12th Army Group, the logistics were going flow from there.
For several reasons, I’m sure Patton liked being in 12th Army Group.
