Actually what i was trying to say by Hitler being the "mastermind behind the Invasion of France" iso Manstein is that it was Hitler'smastermind decision and main idea to invade France and not Manstein's. Manstein gave his input in the "how-to-invade", Hitler made the "let's invade"-mastermind-idea, got me here?

Cheer,
