This is explicitly a counterfactual rather than a claim about what historically occurred. Simpler Fall of France alternatives did not address the depth of the French command-and-control problem. The remaining thought experiment places spare British radio and communications units throughout the French Army's command structure. The extremity of that solution conveys the judgment that changing one battlefield decision would not repair an institutional communications failure.

A Fall of France counterfactual centered on command
French command-and-control problems were judged so deep that the only workable counterfactual required British communications teams at every level.
