Tanks are limited by anti-tank guns and terrain, making rapid breakout unlikely and prolonging heavy fighting.

Marshall Holds Key Role in Allied High Command
The article portrays General Marshall as the dominant figure in Allied staff councils, serving as a vital adviser to Roosevelt and Churchill. It notes his vast responsibilities and suggests a possible “super staff” role, while cautioning that he may not become a field commander.
