Yes, that's why his where's Rommel is spot on. It wouldn't have changed the outcome but IMO had Rommel been in Normandy a lot more American's would have died in the first 72 hours and probably the first couple of weeks.
I, for one, concur with that statement. Purely based on memory from many decades ago, Hilter didn't trust the backup enough to quickly engage the Panzer units which were held in reserve

One of the perennial debates among military historians and armchair generals revolves around Adolf Hitler's decision to directly control the disposition of the Panzer units in northern France in the period immediately preceding the Normandy landings.

The basic elements of the debate are well known. The question is, would a different deployment of the Panzer units have affected the outcome of D-Day? Specifically, had Hitler followed Field Marshal Erwin Rommel's plan to station the Panzer units forward along the coast, would the Germans have successfully repulsed the Allied landings in Normandy?

I enjoy history and do miss the early days of The History Channel when others mocked it as The Hitler Channel.

That’s a good post and a thought provoking one at that. Now, I’m no expert but, I think regardless of what the German’s had or were doing, there would have been wave after wave of Allied troops landing on the beaches till there were no more. Even had Hitler followed Rommel’s plan, I think they (German’s) would have worn down. The main reason I say that has to do with the large amount of soldiers that were forced to be there who were not even German.

As a Vol fan, current Ga resident and Republican; not no, not hell no, but hell f'ing no. But with that being said, he will be better than the dumbass Ossoff we have right now.
