The presentation on the battle of Metz had great information on the German and Allied tactics. I seems like Metz was an unlikely place to try to control because of the strong fortress around the city. It also seems poorly planned especially since there were a lack of supplies, like fuel.
The Battle for Antwerp versus the fall of the Nazi power was very frustraiting to hear about. I can understand wanting to take the gamble and try to end the Nazi regime, but for this to work out everything had to go perfectly. Montgomery shouldn't have been in charge of the operation; he represents the main failure of the Allied forces, not cooperating/communicating. In his desire for power and importance he did not take Antwerp and the surrounding areas like he was supposed to, which led to further failure to Allied troops. Without a way to get supplies, how did he expect to win against the well supplied Nazi's in Germany?
