re: A seriously underrated aspect of D-Day and the Allied offensive in France

Pretty sure the breakout of Normandy has been one of the most studied and lauded military campaigns in the history of this country. It's been well documented.

The landings get more publicity, true, but taking the beaches and hedgerows was almost as impressive. People talk about the landings because of the enormous loss of life. That and the logistical planning to make it even come close to happening make it even more impressive.
