It covers a huge area but in terms of armies fighting there well it doesnt really compare with Russia now does it?? And by the way, since when did Montgomery command the forces in the Western Desert? In fact he was only in Command of 8th army and was under the Command of Harold Alexander. We can keep this up but this is a discussion about Guderian and as you have already said Zoya's post was about the East so our continued discussion about North Africa is a bit of an irrelevance is it not?
Zoya, if Guderian had won the argument to redeploy 6th SS Panzer Army to the Seelow area, I would imagine that the only result would have been Zhukov would not have reached Berlin, the prize would have been taken by Koniev.
