I second Crazy's comments Ross.....job well done !

A question that has always bothered me since the 1960's when I first strated researching the W-SS committment in Normandie. Why wasn't the W-SS truppen and Pnazers bombarded into oblivion during Epsom, Bluecoat and Goodwood. The Allies had superior recon capabilites at least from the air, and even with the light AA used by the Germans the Allies could easily peer through the camo and hillocks to find dug in emplacements. Really would of thought the 9th AF T-bolts and the RAF Typhoons would of reigned total destruction upon the W-SS and Wehrmacht units to add a softening up to British artillery salvo's as a pre-warm up before starting off......oh well it's an almost what-if.
