Fetchez la Vache Posted May 21, 2011 Share Posted May 21, 2011 Incidently I have just been re-reading a book on Cobra. Traffic jams were one of the main issues holding up the American advance. Made worse by the pre-assault air bombing (both times). I'll refrain from commenting on leadership failures, okay? :-) 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Battle of the Bulge had even more problems to use the road network then we have atm in the bocage. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
