after france in 1940 rommel sent hitler a special illustrated version of the 7th panzer divisions war diary

lets say he is impressed by rendeitions of 88's knocking out matilda tanks and angered by the 37mm paks bouncing off

he calls a conference with von thoma and rommel to solicit their opinions since they both have experiance using the 88 in the ground role

based on their input he orders a low profile 88 pak to be produced and an experimental battalion mounted on half tracks

the low profile mount has solid success in greece and he orders the low profile 88 to replace all smaller anti tank guns

this process is 40 percent complete by the launch of barbarossa

do we think this could change the outcome?
