All,
This is a spin-off of the current Overlord thread.
WI Overlord was attempted according to Morgan's plan with only 3 divisions and 2 brigades?
(Dieppe was 1 full division and a range of other units).
What was the COSSAC follow-up plans and how realistic were they?
With only 3 divisions, it looks more comparable to Dieppe than a full-blown invasion.
Monty was sharp in terms of planning and logistics. What if he had not been available (He could have been deployed to Burma)?
Would Slim have been equal in terms of planning?
If the show had to be run by Eisenhover and Bradley, with only 3 divisions, how well would it have been executed?
Brooke was appointed to begin with. Would he have accepted 3 divisions and 2 brigades (only)?
How well would he have planned if he were Supreme Commander?
