More vigorously and with greater force and depth than had been anticipated. What do you think patton would have done in that circumstance . Landing an army on the beach with no opposition . Would he do you think he might have dug in . You know, thats a counter factual and historians always love counter factuals because i cant be wrong. I can say, yeah, he would have dug in just like lucas did. Or no, he would have raced to rome and the story of the anzio landings would have been considerably different. My belief is had general lucas taken that small core and pushed inland they would have been destroyed, that they would have been annihilated. Not only would we have had the agony of four months at anzio, but that we would have probably had the agony of an entire corps being annihilated. So im a defending of lucas even though i recognize hes the wrong man for the job. Hes replaced by general trusscot, the one who was born to lead men in the dark of night. He was reliesed by lucian.

Good at figuring out stuff like this. But in the main, i think you have to say that, although there were times when senior guys ultra did not go below army level. So if you were a corps commander, you didnt get ultra. You werent even supposed to know about it. So at army level, which is a very high tactical level, you got ultra and you had an ultra officer there, he would bring the stuff in, hed say, this is what we got from blechly park today, where they were decrypting this stuff in england. Hed say, this is what we got today, this is what we know. Sir, you probably cant do anything about this because the germans would figure out that we got this through a radio intercept. And they would err on the side of caution. Rarely, and im hard pressed to think of a time when they knew that something was going to happen and they let men get killed instead.
