The battle of Normandy ended as the Allied armies crossed the Seine at the end of August 1944, a month after Operation Cobra had broken the stalemate. As far as the Allies were concerned, the Germans were beaten. The Allies harried the retreating Germans, who left their tanks and heavy weapons south of the Seine, and by mid-September the Allies were coming up against the defenses of Germany itself, the impressive Westwall.
Logistics demanded that this should be a single thrust rather than Eisenhower's broad front approach. The scent of immediate victory was in the air, the only question was where to apply the coup de grace. Montgomery--the architect of victory in Normandy--proposed a daring plan to circumvent the Westwall, thrust towards Berlin, and make use of the newly created 1st Allied Airborne Army.
The plan was simple: use the Paratroopers to hold key bridges along a single route
