what if Frank Andrews did not die in a plane crash on May3, 1943? At the time he was commander of European Theater of Operations United States Army. It has been suggested that he could have been placed in command of Operation Overlord instead of Eisenhower.
What do you think would have happened?
-Andrews remains as commander ETOUSA letting Eisenhower concentrate on planning and carrying out the campaign to liberate Europe.
-Marshall gives Overlord to Andrews and Eisenhower stays in London for the rest of the war
-Eisenhower stays on in the Med.
