Good point, Lil. German occupation troops across the whole of Europe - plus Britain - would have spread their strength even more thinly.

But I wonder if it would affect the balance of power (in terms of fighting units) more than marginally? Much would depend on the strength of the resistance movements. Countries like Norway, Greece, Yugoslavia tied down significant numbers of troops. I've never seen an analysis of this issue.
