  This is a reasoned and structured demonstration of the difficulty in making an effective decision in a wartime emergency situation, and how mistakes were made in good faith at the time with disastrous consequences. Incompetence, personality clashes, political interference and tactical blundering are all involved in this study of significant errors by the Allies as well as the Axis forces.
