Richard Perle resigns

[Alan Jacobson]

Looking at maps, its around 200 miles from Cherbourg
(taken June 27) to Paris, which was liberated Aug 24,
1944. Probably by the time the Allies made it across
the Rhine, a lot of supplies were moving through
Antwerp and Rotterdam, which is closer.

The drive up the Rhone River valley probably had a
long supply line from Marseille. (250 miles or so to
Dijon, where forces from the north and forces from the
south met on Sept 12, 1944)

I am just speculating.

BTW it took the Allies two months to break out of
Normandy and that was with the Germans making just
about every error that could be made.
