It is true that landing craft are important to amphibious operations. But what was planned in north africa was an amphibious operation. IE what was used there could have been used in France. Had the French fought the allies on the landing beaches it would have been similar to Normandy.

But then again if you invade Germany all of the German armies everywhere get cut off from supply. The only route to Germany for the US and Uk was through France.

Chuchill invisioned a large mobile tank army taht would invade Europe at the right moment and get infantry from the liberated nations.
