There’s also the fact that many troops stationed on Normandy on D-day were prisoners and lesser trained troops causing communication issues since most of the prisoners were from different countries. The Germans didn’t expect an invasion from where the allies landed so they left the lower quality troops to defende the beaches.
Plus the fact that Erwin Rommel was one of the most brilliant strategists in history, it would have been way harder for the allies if he was here
I kinda feel bad for him, but I'm glad he took the day since it ended up being the last one they'd be together for.
Rommel wasn't the best and tended to redo his tactics over and over (which is what led to the british wiping out north africa)he just happened to be somewhat competent compared to his fellow generals.
