[edit] Consequences on German Military Doctrine

I wonder what effect this had on the Westwall/Overlord strategies and lessons from the Salerno and Anzio attacks Cosnahang 11:40, 30 August 2007 (UTC)

Hard to say IMO. Although German units moved between the eastern and western fronts, not all of the experience gained by units on different fronts was shared (such as senior German Panzer leaders getting their units cut up in Lorraine in 1944 because they weren't familiar with the capabilities of the U.S. Army). The coastal defense situation in Crimea was different in that the Germans had a rough naval and air parity with their opponents, something that wasn't the case on the western front. W. B.
