Sounds like.
The Brits COULD do something similar IMHO. Turn 90^ 1 way or the other, division leaders together and the rest in the succession, and do this a 2nd time once the 1st turn was complete. These were just the standard moves to 1) get out of line back into parallel divisions, and 2) deploy into line again, only on the other wing than previously. The GF knew how to do these moves very well so I figure they could have pulled it off had they wanted.
This would result in the whole line going 180^ to its previous direction in a different arrangement than with the German method. In this version, the divisions would all be in their original order with their leaders still in front of all their subordinates, whereas the German version reversed the order of all divisions. Also, this way would take rather longer to execute. But I still think it would have worked.
