In August 15th, 1942 Hitler decides to change things up and puts Paulus in command at El Alamein and Rommel in charge of the soon to arrive Stalingrad campaign. How would Rommel deal with an urban combat fight which is one of the few types of battles he never really dealt with in a significant way?
It would be interesting to see how his aversion to incurring civilian casualties comes up against a war in a city full of people making limiting civilian death difficult. It's also a very different kind of opponent then he is used to. OTL Rommel if he got to Alexandra wanted to win over the population. Would he try something similar here?
How would Paulus do in desert combat against a very different kind of opponent in a very different environment then Stalingrad? What might he do differently then occurred OTL?
