I have to agree that this smacks of drivel. Patton was a brilliant general, but you do not run a military on genius alone. Eisenhower was put in charge for the reason that he was one of the few men who could maintain control over the variety of headaches that comes with such a job. As for the business of attacking where and how, these are things that are decided months in advance, based on anticipated assets and conditions. It takes a long time to get assets arranged for any major assault. Therefor, once a target is selected, it is rare that things get changed, even if there are last minute circumstances that add to the risk.
