Friedrich will become famous soon enough
Maybe I will be getting out of the subject a bit, but I have to comment some things Erwin said...

Quote:
If they could have repelled the American-Brittish-Canadian invasion on 6 June, then they could deploy all of their troops to the eastern front and fight a much bigger fight with the Russians.
Even if this had happened (which I doubt), a reorganisation must be made after the victory, not 100% of the troops in France were going to be transferred to the East and all this was going to take, at least some 6 weeks. But just three weeks later, in June 22nd 1944, operation 'Bagration" was launched and by the end of July, Army Group Centre had ceased to exist. I don't think that all the reinforcements for France would have arrived on time to save the Eastern Front...
