Not a military man myself, so asking those who are or were, for an opinion.
Am puzzled how infantry with back up, went from Normandy to Berlin, in so short a time, compared to modern battle tactics taking years to flush out an enemy, using indiscriminate chaotic fire power and artillery.
Just really puzzled.
Any comments from military personnel?

For more on marking an answer as the "Best Answer", please visit our FAQ.It was the Western Front in World War I that used "battle tactics taking years to flush out an enemy, using indiscriminate chaotic fire power and artillery" and that was 20-odd years before the Normandy landings and race to Berlin in World War II, so not really "modern". Familiarise yourself with actions such as the retaking of the Falkland Islands, invading Kuwait and Iraq (the Gulf Wars) and you'll discover that modern battles can be just as mobile as those of WWII
Every battle situation is different, so tactics vary. For instance, the confrontation in Borneo was very different to the situation in Aden, which was different to the stand off in Cyprus, witch was different to the troubles in Northern Ireland. Each demanding differing tactics. I was involved in all of those.
Got to realise in the !st and 2nd Major World Wars the UK armed forces ,for the most part, faced uniformed opposition with clearly identifiable
vehicles and materiel.
The cowardy opposition who hide behind women and children as human shields in Syria and Iraq wear mufti and use schools and hospitals as fire bases for rockets and mortars etc.
Any mistakes by the goodies and they are hounded by the establishment they serve and scum who call themselves lawyers.
The enemy do not conform to the Geneva Convention, neither Rules of Engagement. To abide by these rules with your hands tied takes time.
