The challenge here is to make DDay (or the subsequent days after) such a disaster that the the Allies attempt to offer a ceasefire to the Germans within a least a month after the failed operation.
You're going to need to explain how D-Day became such a disaster.The challenge here is to make DDay (or the subsequent days after) such a disaster that the the Allies attempt to offer a ceasefire to the Germans within a least a month after the failed operation.
Honestly there's no real case for the whole idea that the Germany recognize its in Normandy, its also unnecessary.How about Eisenhower goes ahead, then the weather really gets bad. My uncle was there with his tank, and from his accounts if the weather had gotten much worse they would have started swamping.
Losses in the Channel are disastrous, then go with the fact that somehow the Germans get wind that Normandy is the site and the invasion force is on its way. Hitler orders everything to Normandy while the bad weather prevents the Allies from putting any aircraft over Europe. Most of the bridges are gone so this will delay reinforcement but some will still get through. The defenders are ready and as fewer troops get ashore (and are seasick to boot) losses are heavy and no real foothold is gained.
Does this work for anyone?
