This is simple: there's a lot of threads about replacing Eisenhower, or Patton. But what about 21st Army Group, the British and Commonwealth forces in Northwest Europe?

Suppose that at any point in 1944, Montgomery had been injured and need replacement. Who could've replaced him? Or Sir Miles Dempsey, the commander or Second British Army. Or Harry Crerar, the Commander of 1st Canadian Army.

Go to it!

I'll start off: the only obvious and worthwhile replacement for command of 1st Canadian Army was Guy Simonds. Period. You put Guy Simonds in command of 1st Canadian Army from the outset at D-Day, and the Falaise Pocket won't be an issue.
