OTL, Rommel wanted to attack ont he beaches, feeling Allied air power was too strong and that falling back toward Paris, as von Rundstedt wanted, would be suicidal.
So, let's suppose some Resistance fighter gets lucky and wounds Rommel in April or so of 1944, enough time for von Rundstedt to implement a plan to fall back toward Paris while Rommel recovers.
What effect? Does it shorten the war? Or just casue a much greater battle around Paris? Or, does Hitler try to shoot von Rundstedt from Berin because at this point he will not have his armies giving one inch of ground? (Okay, realistically, just replace him.) Although witht hat madman von Rundstedt could theoretically be shot I suppose.)
