Delivered to Hell's Doorstep: What if Germany had 72-Hours' Notice of the Allied D-Day Landings?
Field Marshal Erwin Rommel spent June 5th, 1944 rushing reinforcements into Normandy France. This was not part of Rommel's original plan, but two days earlier a mysterious message from the Fuhrer himself had sent the German Wehrmacht scrambling. Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of Nazi-occupied France would happen any day in Normandy and not Pas-de-Calais as German High Command had anticipated. Could the Wehrmacht and its formidable Atlantic Wall stop the invading Allies at the water's edge?
Students of history know that Nazi Germany was caught by surprise when the Allies invaded Normandy, France on June 6th, 1944. Allied deceptions, German bureaucratic infighting, and even Hitler sleeping, all played a role in delaying the deployment of German reinforcements to the highly vulnerable Allied beachheads in the pivotal early hours of the invasion. But what if the Germans had discovered the location and time of Operation Overlord just as the Allied landing craft began leaving England and headed towards France?
