Hitler's Incompetence - The Battle of the Balkans

Hitler would wait to see if the attack was real. And so the days went by with romell and runsted fuming at his indecision. After several weeks, hitler finally accepted that normandy was the real destination. But by then he was too late. The allies had established a beechhead. In august, they broke out of normandy, sending the germans into full retreat to hitler. It was yet another indication of the incompetence of those around him. He had no idea how deeply and decisively he had been fooled.
