(What if) From the very first, Rundstedt realized that all, absolutely all conditions for the possible success of the OKW's operational plan for the next offensive were lacking. OB WEST proposed Plan Martin: "The axis of the advance, as proposed in Martin, would be ButgenbachTrois Ponts-Werbomont-Ourthe River-a Meuse crossing north of the line Huy-Antwerp. The Fifth and Sixth Panzer Armies, right and left, would attack on a narrow front, the main strength of the two armies driving between Simmerath and Bleialf on a front of only twenty-five miles." "Plan Martin emphasized protection of the north flank of the attack, adding extra divisions for this purpose and feeding in a vital secondary attack by six divisions debouching from the salient south of Roermond." "Flank cover would be given by the advance of the Fifteenth Army in the north and the Seventh Army in the south."
