WI: Erich Von Manstein dies during WW1

Historically during WW1; Erich Von Manstein, then a staff officer, was gravely wounded in November 1914. What if these wounds were fatal?

the butterflies are potentially massive... manstein was the deputy quartermaster general in the 1930s under general foster. they became the designers and implementers of the east and west wall. manstein convinced the armaments office to build the panzer jager 1 and the stugg series of assault guns. this is to say nothing of his command appointments
 
Well other peple will fill his roles, rise and shine on merit. I find the butterflies too numerous in their small ways to know how you can answer this question

in actuallity Paulus followed in Manstein's shows in many positions just like Manteuffel followed guderian so its possible that Paualus is thrust into critical roles much earlier... probably a bad thing for the germans
