Doing some background research for my upcoming work "a nice day for tanning" the premise of this tl, is that Hitler sides with Rommel in how to allocate the armored divisions in France prior to D-Day. Rommel, feeling the troops would not be able to advance from any central reserve positions due to allied airpower, wanted to position his divisions right behind the beaches... the other school under Schweppenberg and Guderian wanted them in central reserve. Hitler used this conflict to put all the divisions into OKW reserve and reserve their final allocation to him... this saw the divisions completly spread eagled over hundreds of miles and also had them not particularly close to the likely landing zones either
thoughts gentlemen?
