It’s interesting that at this stage, Manstein’s Sichelsschnitt has only 4 Panzer Divisions attacking through the Ardennes, while 5 attack through Belgium and Holland, with [I presume] 1 in general reserve.

I wonder if it was Guderian’s input, when Manstein consulted him, that caused the shift of three more Panzer Divisions to the Ardennes, and the reduction of the armored thrust in Belgium to two Panzer Divisions
