To gauge your ideas and insites

which defensive idea made more sense to defend France against the Overlord landings which the Germans knew where eventually coming however they didn't know where

1. Station all available reserves right on the beaches for immediate counterattacks (Rommel's plan)

2. Station all available reserves in a centralized task force around Paris, allow the landing to go inland a little bit and then launch a massive counterattack (Rundstead, Guderian, Schweppenberg's plan)

if you have your own idea for the deployment that would have been better than the other two by all means share
