First things first: could early Pacific Campaign invasions ‘inspire’ Overlord? Or the other way round?
Admittedly, USN ran the Pacific campaign invasions and these were rather elaborate affairs.
Ramsey had a bit of expertise with amphibious warfare.
Could Overlord have benefitted by having Nimitz in charge of the landings (Neptune)?
How would Overlord have changed if there were a massive influence of USN experience?
How much similarity did we really see between pacific invasions an Overlord?
Who could take Tedder’s place? And would it be a good thing?
And of course: who could be supreme commander (please leave MacArthur alone)?
Could anyone from Europe take Nimitz place?
A bit lose, but is it a good idea to look at?
