I don't think they limited the amount of people they dropped on the Netherlands, or the people they threw at the Normandy beaches on the basis that they might be shot at. Logistics was the limiting factor.

Although I hope that Matterhorn doesn't require any bridgeheads to be conquered. It's also worth remembering that Market Garden failed in its final objective.
