Wait no more.
My opening post:
If fuel shortages at the front line rather than in the rear (a very important distinction often overlooked) were the norm then obviously the effects of said shortages should be seen in all situations rather than overwhelmingly being seen during the panic-stricken flight when the broken Germans fled Normandy.
There was a general shortage everywhere, I dont know how on earth are you separating a rear echelon shortage from frontal shortage.
And seeing that: "By D-day the Strategic Air Forces together with the Tactical Air Forces had so successfully performed their mission of disrupting enemy communications that tl,ere was a chronic shortage of locomotives and cars, repair facilities were inadequate, coal stocks were reduced to
a six days' supply, and 74 bridges and tunnels leading to the battle area were impassable. The communications cbaos thus produced had fatal effects upon the enemy's attempts at reinforcement after our landings."
One could argue if there was an effective connection between german rear and german frontline at all.
Really?
Were can I see this 'cannibalised' report?
In Montgomery's scientists. Contains all the information you need, and it meets the impossible threshold as well, as I quote: "Abandonment must often have come as a result of the extreme cognestion and disorganisation which prevailed during the retreat; traffic was totally blocked and petrol became scarce."
In other words, an absolutely non-controversial statement, or is Operational Research also wrong now?
Losing so badly that you have to keep countering my posts.
Do you have the stamina to continue or.................will you run out of fuel!
1. Yes, panic-stricken Germans set good half of their vehicles on fire and "took tyres off" as a normal practice from wheeled vehicles, and were salvaging many others.
2. Its a controversial thing to say that tanks run out of fuel, in a nation going on 4th year of fuel famine, and evidently losing majority of supply lines into the battlefield even before the actual battle.
Thats 0:2 against the strawman
Do you have the stamina to continue or.................will you run out of fuel!
Nah, feel free to post more fact-free statement and basically admitting to what ammounts to juvenile trolling.
I will be here.
