How long would the Normandy landing lasted if Hitler had given Rommel the comtrol over those two Panzer Divisions.

I’m not that sure it would have made that much difference.Considering that the Allies had total airsuperiority and a whole bunch of warships capable of launching terrible barrages,the paners would have had the same problems,very restricted movement by day,very slow progress at night.Also the problems of bringing enough supplies to the front.It would surely have given the allied command more headaches and a lot more casualties.
