I did hear that the Allied had over 1,500 casualties from the weather though. Frozen wet feet and general exposure. They were not equipped or prepared for what they found there as far as ground for roads or for movement at all. Tents were barely enough to survive, and the weather was all around horrible for aircraft (landing, taking off, or flying).
An attack on American soil had to be countered, and as quickly as possible, and to the finish. That is was.
Good site Amrit !
