It's July 20, 1944. With beachheads now secured for the past month, allied forces are slowly pushing east against the sparse but incredibly difficult and stubborn German forces. Canadian, British, and American armies are marching towards their goal of the German capital by Christmas, though Patton thinks it will be spring time 1945 before they enter Berlin. Up north, Operation Market Garden planning is in full swing, with first boots on the ground by mid-September with Montgomery leading that ground charge and Brereton commanding the air support. Patton still thinks Montgomery has his hands full with Rundstedt and Model leading the effective German forces in the Netherlands. Losses are mounting in the tank space - the Sherman tanks are no match for the heavy German iron of the Wehrmacht - with a 5 to 1 US/German tanks radio the only factor levelling the playing field.
