The Antwerp-before-Market-Garden counterfactual

Would seizing Antwerp and its approaches in autumn 1944 have been better than Operation Market Garden?

Possibly; the alternative is plausible, but the counterfactual is not resolved here.

A viewer argues that securing Antwerp and its approaches when the opportunity first appeared would have given the Allies a much stronger logistical link. The comment contrasts that objective with Operation Market Garden and proposes Antwerp as the better use of resources. The answer is only that it is possible, so the passage presents a plausible counterfactual rather than a settled judgment. The proposal makes clear how operational priorities can determine the supply system available to sustain an advance.
