In reality they didn’t treat webster like a replacement, at the end of the day the guy was a fucking veteran of d day and market garden, 2 of the bloodiest battles in the war
I’d maybe hold off on not including Falaise into that category of immensely horrid, incomprehensible battles. The sheer number of casualties suffered by the Germans trying to flee that pocket kinds f%$%@ed what was left of the western German armies, leaving them devoid of veteran troops for when the Battle of the Bulge happened. Falaise was pure carnage, enough to match most eastern front battles.

Bloodiest battles for the Western Allies in Western Europe. The number of Eastern Front casualties are incomprehensible to normal humans.
