As pointed out earlier, they were awaiting a counter-offensive. Stress. In addition, since we placed forces behind the lines in the form of gliders and paratroopers who needed help. Additional stress. This was done to form an effect of a pincer maneuver ... i.e. to trap the german shoreline forces between the beach-head and our troops who were behind the lines. In other words, time was critical as every movement had to be offensive so as to reinforce the troops "behind the lines". That is why your scenario doesn't even make much sense to me. The brits are going to push through the shore defense and then pull the german soldiers back onto the beach to commit this "war crime"? That simply doesn't make sense. I think that somebody had their story confused here.
