Patton would not have concieved of such a delicate operation. He understood that the Allied forces had vast numerical advantages and was content to grind his way to Berlin.
I'm not sure what PJ meant with this statement, but anyone who has studied Patton's campaign's in NA, Sicily, and France surely could not characterize his tactics as 'indelicate' grind. The end-around to Palermo....the Lorraine Campaign......the relief of Bastogne........
