With so many untouched troops they could have destroyed d-day in its beginning or put even more pressure on Soviets which would killed them. Also they possible could have restarted north African front but allies alredy landed in Sicily so they probably have naval superiority. But Italy just ducking sits there..

[@solosalvador]

@@Nothing-1w3 the ai is more prone to naval invading Italy either before or after dday to create a front with Italy. With most tiles in Italy being able to be naval invaded. A good amount of troops need to be placed in Italy bc if Germany loses Italy and has another front from Austria and Vichy France, it'll lead to the downfall of Germany. But I see where your coming from, some troops would be better placed in the west wall or against the soivets for a faster push
