Allied forecasts eye late fall end to war in Europe
From Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force on June 20, top Allied leaders believe Germany may collapse in late 1944 rather than by summer. The second front opened with less resistance than expected. Germany shows no do or die Luftwaffe assault and opts for a conservative defense as bad weather limits Allied supply landings. Rommel’s 15th and 7th armies face potential destruction similar to Italy’s 14th, with German plans to surface in the next two weeks and a big bid to break the Allied beachhead likely if Montgomery delays.
