On 21 June 7.Armee was still responsible for the fighting in Normandy with a considerable force under its command

Its forces were still growing in number.

But with an increase in troops, so increased the supply issues. Supply could not keep up with the demands of rations, fuel and ammunition.

and even more so for offensive operations

Motor transport was just far too low, with little hope of a remedy
