Default Re: D-Day November 1942

None of the above mentioned units that were sent from France to the other fronts will depart once this invasion occurs. Fighting the Allied, or mostly British at first, army in France will take prioirty over reinforcing the Afrika army. Manstein in the east will have to suck it up as those reinforcements wont be dismounting the trains in December/January. Instead they will be enjoying the French winter mud and rain in the Vendre and Breton countryside.

The benefit to the Soviet soldiers or those of the 8th Army is a matter of debate. But, the fate of those divsions will be decided in France.
