feb 21, 1944 - Rommel was sent to France to prepare for the invasion in 1944. Rommel and Von Runestadt did not agree on tank placement, so they compromised on the decision, which was very effective. Rommel didn’t believe the allies would invade because of bad weather, so he left for a meeting with Hitler and his wife’s birthday.
