Had it even been a success the Allies would’ve still had to pause due to logistical constraints.
Market-Garden is a part of a pattern. Trust me, a lot of Allied generals looked bad in late 1944 because they had reached the end of their operational momentum which happens in war. So why the fascination with Market-Garden? It’s the only real attempt at a decisive blow in late 44 and came “close.”
The problem with Market Garden was less the execution of the plan and more of the concept that a single drive could end the war in 1944. Metz and Hurtgen Forest occur during this period but those stalemates don’t make for good films.
Throughout the fall of 1944 the Allied offensives on all fronts started running out of steam as they reached a strategic culmination point for the 1944 and needed to consolidate and reset.
