Disengagement and withdrawl are essential elements in warfare.
Hitler constantly refused to use them and orderen "Last stands" in "Führerbefehle". If Hitler would have been removed after July 22, 1944, the German army would have been withdrawn from Normandy, as his Generals advised him. Hitler's order not to withdraw after the counterattack at Mortain had petered out led to the destructive Battle of Falaise.
Germany could have made it a lot tougher for the Western Allies to withdraw behind the Siegfried Line and the rivers of Holland.
