So it seems that the last thread we talked about an early Operation Typhoon is over, but in discussing the topic and researching it further it seems like September 1st or so would have been likely the earliest it would have been launched. I thought it might warrant a further discussion in a separate thread to see if anyone is interested in discussing further.

The POD for this thread would be that in late August when Guderian flew to East Prussia to discuss the Moscow option, Hitler agrees rather than signing on for the diversions to Kiev and Leningrad of AG-Center's Panzers. AG-North and -South are left to fight their own battles.

On 23 August, Halder convened with Bock and Guderian in Borisov (in Belorussia), and afterwards flew with Guderian to Hitler's headquarters in East Prussia. During a meeting between Guderian and Hitler,[15] with neither Halder nor Brauchitsch present, Hitler allowed Guderian to make the case for driving on to Moscow, and then rejected his argument.

So the start date is set for September 1st (IOTL the Battle of Kiev was concluded and Guderian's forces attacked for Operation Typhoon in less than a week, so this means more time to prepare than IOTL). 3rd Panzer Army is not split up and does not send forces to Leningrad, while it also retains it's air support. They still launch their offensive against Velykie Luki to secure their flanks. In the South Guderian and von Weichs have destroyed Central Front by this point and Bryansk Front isn't a major flank threat, which allows 2nd Panzer Army to reposition and recover in time for TTL's Typhoon. It would also be enough time to dispatch 2nd Panzer division as reinforcement, though it would likely not arrive until later in the campaign due to the late POD (it was in France on the 23rd of August on occupation duty).

Yelnya is evacuated in late August to free up forces for September 1st.
