  1. Additionally; The ports in Brittany would have doubled the Allied supply lines. Very likely they would have been wrecked and rendered useless by the defenders before they quit. German forces weren't "not there" or in rout. They were withdrawling in as good an order as possible to the Siegfried Line. Ike didn't know how weak the German forces were or if they would have been able to pull off a surprise somewhere. You know, like the Ardennes Offensive? Speaking of, Imagine what would have happened to Monty in December '44 if Patton was still West of the Meuse? Armchair generaling in hindsight is always easy. That is why I hate it when historians try to "critical analysis" (whatifing) instead of just sticking to facts.
