What then? The war in central Europe (ETO) could have gotten our full

There is a real question of whether we had the ability to launch any
invasion of Europe in 1943, let alone sucessfully. Our costly
"learning experiences" in Tunisia do raise the question of how ready
the US was to take on the Wehrmacht.

Later on, a lot of German troops were tied up in the MTO keeping us
tied up in the MTO. Interesting question who came out ahead there...
