RE: Patton's Assorted Manure Piles?
...when Patton arrived at Normandy, his objective was to breakout...toward Brest, if I am not correct. It was only after the stunning outflanking of the German forces and the bottling up of the Brest port areas, that a great discussion occurred amongst Allied planners...and then Patton was allowed to take ~2/3rds of the American force and move southeast while the rump of the American forces were to reduce the Brest port fortifications...Patton..surely an animal of opportunity...those were not his plans...but Ike's, I believe...and possibly some Limey staff peoples, et al.
...ad nauseum...Patton et al...
but sincerely cheers, all
