Hello Marne.

While I agree with you that the MTO is often overlooked, much like the CBI in the war with Japan, I have to point out that most historians would'nt consider D-day the "back door" to Europe. In fact, they would probably consider the MTO the diversion at the "back door" while we built up to kick in the front. Nonetheless, is that one word?, without the operations in NA and the rest of the Med D-day would never have been possible.
