Napalm the bocage! info


The Normandy bocage cost 40,000 casualties, invaluable time, lots of tanks, ammo, etc,
Since the Germans were hiding in thick, flammable vegetation, why not set fire to it with napalm, which the navy used extensibly in the Pacific? This would have both eliminated the obstacle and the German troops and equipment.
