They seem to have paused in Belgium. Most likely supply problems. Otherwise we can't imagine why. I think it's because we're retreating... faster than they can advance.

Father, the Allies will come? But when? I've just got back to England from Brussels... where I had a meeting this morning with Field Marshal Montgomery. There was an earlier one with General Eisenhower. They both feel, as I do... that when the Field Marshal's plan has succeeded... we should be able to end the war by Christmas... in less than 100 days. Actually, the plan is really very simple. We're going to fly 35,000 men 300 miles, and drop them behind enemy lines. It'll be the largest airborne operation ever mounted. Quite frankly, this kind of thing's never been attempted before.
