TORCH was essential in many aspects, first and foremost the liberation of the North African coast, but also as the first combined Allied operation, the first huge amphibious landing and the first 'blooding' of US troops in the European Theater of Operations (ETO).
So I pose my question in the post-TORCH period let's say the Casablanca Conference (January 1943).
It boils down to:
What was the fastest way to conquer Germany?
Through HUSKY (landings in Sicily) and consequently Italy or by skipping a year and going straight for OVERLORD in the summer of 1943 (my exact date
June 6th 1943 was of course a teaser, around July 1st would be more realistic).
And yes Torplexed, through ULTRA info it could be somehow be coincided with CITADEL.
