Shy away, shy away, shy away... :roll:

First, you need to demonstrate that Hitler prohibited (i.e., that which has been forbidden; banned) "the use of the 15th army in Normandy in June, the first half of July", which might be difficult, since as we know, the 15. Armee did get used in "Normandy" - divisional elements in Calvados and corps elements in Seine Maritime and Eure - and that more and more of 15. Armee was committed as the battle went on.

Oh, and the same applies to the supposed "prohibition" of the elements of 7. Armee from Brittany, 1. Armee from Bordeaux, and 19. Armee from southern France.

You have many sources. Could you give a comparison of the divisions involved in the Normandy battles to the total number of German divisions in the west. For example, June 15, June 30, July 15?

Why should I do anything when you continue to shy away from the topic and refuse to answer simple questions?
