Lets say for this op Hitler is killed in late 1941 and replaced with someone who doesn't declare war on the U.S. and provides enough resources to the Africa Korps to take Egypt causing a no confidence vote against Churchill and leaning to a peace in exchange for the UK getting their Empire back. In the meantime he allowed his troops to get out of the trap being set at Stalingrad.

Now it comes down to the East, the new leader of Germany whoever that is (it really doesn't matter for this op only that he won't micromanage the war) has gathered his top generals in one room to debate which strategy is best.

I knew a few things about what Model and Von Manstein's strategies for this East. But, beyond that its pretty vague. In this op Rommel would be finished fighting the UK so his view on what should be done on the Eastern Front would come into play. Here is his late 1943 view on how the battle should be waged.

So, which strategy would be most effective for Germany to institute on the Eastern Front starting in early 1943 in this op. And, if you were the new leader of Germany which generals would you place in charge of the various Army Groups and the rest?
