Why Overlord would have been harder in 1943

What were Kenneth Anderson's chances of commanding an Overlord invasion in 1943?

Anderson's personal chances are left open. A 1943 invasion would have faced a much less worn-down German force and therefore been considerably harder.

The proposal moves Operation Overlord forward to 1943 and places Kenneth Anderson, commander of First Army in North Africa, in charge. The response does not assess Anderson in detail. It instead stresses that German forces had not yet been worn down to the extent reached by 1944, making the operation considerably harder. This is a narrow warning about strategic timing rather than a full verdict on the proposed commander.
