Re: S. France Invasion before D-Day?

The major problem with a S. France invasion larger than what was done was logistics. The distance from Britain and the trip required for a start. Air power would be less as well compared to being able to nip across the channel and back.

An invasion of S. France had it's merits but didn't compare favourably with a cross channel effort. A large landing in the lower France region could well have found itself in serious trouble.
