Eisen House Plan

Introduction

Allied Forces 326,000 (to June 11) death 37,000, injury / missing 172,000

After Tehran, Roosevelt and Churchill met in Cairo. Decided to appoint Eisenhower to implement the overall commander of OperationOverlord, Montgomery as the general command of the ground forces.

June 6, 1944, code "D Day". The Allies have concentrated more than 2.88 million, nearly 9,000 ships (including more than 4,000 landing ships) and 1.37 million aircraft. At about 1:30 in the morning, the US 82nd, 101th Airborne and the UK have a total of 17,000, as a leading troops, take 1200 transport aircraft in the southern end of Normanda and the O'Nunkou, respectively. Umbrella landing. Subsequently, the United States, Ying, and the Advancement Party team landed in the French coast in five locations under the violent sea space guns. Germany has failed to organize counterattacks in a timely manner due to the deception of allied fake intelligence. After a fierce battle, the Allied Forces on the landing team have been consolidated to the landing fields and began to advance towards the depth.

Normand land is landing, opening up the European Second Battlefield for the Allies, which has caused the Germans into the Soviet and British American Allies, and accelerated the death of Germany. This battle is currently the world's largest maritime landing operation. It is one of the most famous battles in World War II and fixed the military term "D Japanese" in June 6, 1944.

Campaign

Since Germany invaded the Soviet Union (Barbarossa Plan), the Surma has made a lot of war with the Germans in the European continent. In 1942, the US President Franklin Drano Roosevelt and the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill decided to establish a second battlefield by the United States and the United Kingdom to alleviate the burden on the Soviet Union, and later this plan was once again mentioned in the spring of 1943. .

The UK has a talent to attack the geographical advantages of European peripherals, but the United States persuaded that it is directly over the Positive Battle of the British British Channel. Two preparatory plans were proposed: a top-ha-hammer action launched in 1942 and the Roundup action that launched a large-scale attack in 1943, as well as the overlord action, although it was postponed in 1944.

The Higher Trust of Allied Expeditionary Army (SHAEF) began planned processes in early February 1943.

Selection of landing locations

The choice of the Allies landing locations is greatly limited by the UK's airport. The geographic environment will be reduced to two: add to the Normandy Coast. The UK is the easiest to land and the easiest to attack Germany, because these reasons Germany have deployed strong force. In the end, the Allies chose Normandy to log in.

Big part of the cause from 1942 Canada encountered the defending of Dieppe, the Allies decided not to directly attack French harbor when the first round of landing.

Offensive power

The generals of Eisenhower in December 1943 were appointed as the highest commander of the Joint Expeditionary Force, after which he can conduct all the European joint Forces. Soon, January 1944, General Montgomery was appointed as the land invasion troops as a commander.

At this stage, the combat plan is required to attack the sea from the sea, and the two trips are invaded by air. General Mona Marley quickly increased the original first attack to five divisions, and three trips were invaded by the air. According to the plan, this campaign will have a total of 47 divisions: Britain, Canada, British Federation and free European Forces will have 26 teachers, and the United States will have 21 troops.

At the same time, according to the plan, the Navy will send more than 6,000 ships, including 4,000 landing boats and 130 bombing boats. The 12,000 aircraft that will lead the leadership by the Cui Ford Lemuli Air Force will be launched by the air, which contains the airborne troops contained in 1000 transport planes. 5,000 tons of explosives will be used to attack the German defense.

Objective

The previous 40 days of operational goals is: 1) Building a beach head including Kang and Shetburg 2 City (especially the deep water harbor) of Shetburg; Strike from the beach head, liberate the port of Brittany and its Atlantic Ocean, and proceeds to the 125 miles from the southeast of Paris to Turk.

The goal of three months is to control the Loire River as the south, Seine River is the northeastern world.

Inspiration plan

In order to deceive the German, let them believe that the Allies really want to invade, the Allies have a lot of work, ready to fight Enemy plan. The Allied US First Arma Legion has built a fake building, instrumentation and equipment and send out fake radio telegrams. They even fake that the General Barton is the commander of this legion. The Germans are also very urgent to know the true landing place of the Allies, so through their own intelligence network and ingredients to collect the first hand information in the southern United Kingdom. However, very unfortunately, Even the German's own information was also cheated by the Allies. The German informationist is very "competing" to send back the fake information, saying that the Allies will really go to land. In order to make this scam as much as possible, the Allies will continue to go on the battle, they have got a "only in radar" to see the fake empty war, and other devices to continue to deceive the German.

Special preparations

Some unusual military equipment prepared by some Allies have specially reloaded armored tanks for this battle. The re-installed armor under the leadership of Major Bosi Hasbert contains the "swim" double-speed snowman tank, mine clear tank (also known as the snowman crab, is in the general Snowman tank, heading, Some of the henitulus can be used to ruin the mines, but they will not hurt the tanks), the bridge tanks and paving tanks.

This plan has also built two artificial harbor (Moore Barry), which can be a few in the event that there is no deep water harbor to let the replenishment beach. Weekly uses these two people to supply Allied forces of the Allies' intrusion forces important military replenishment, in addition, the submarine replenish line is also set up through the line by the UK to supply fuel to the troops.

German reaction

In November 1943, when Hitler judged that the threat to invading France is no longer ignored, so I assign strategic executive Officer Erwen Ramo as a coastal defense checkor, he Talking later, it is assigned to the commander of the B Arma Legion, the North Side of the North. Romo believes that the only way to resist intrusion is to use armor weapons to counterattack, and at least to deploy some armored equipment to be as close as possible to the beach, then start against attack. But Luo Mo's military power is quite limited, because he is not a commander of all military power in the west of Germany; the west military power is the strategic law enforcement Got, who Rodes. Rhodes has a suit support for Gair Van Shiwerg, and Shi Weibo has a colonel to support armored armored troops in Jun Hans Goodun. Rhodes's plan is to concentrate on the armored fortges into the inland, so that the main force of the Allies can introduce the mainland, and then launch counters will annihilate the enemy.

The different opinions and arguments of the main strategic high-level determinants are also reacting out of their experience. The command experience of Rhodesd and Goodun is not very rich. They just hit the Germany when she took the soldiers, they were mainly fighting against the Air Force, or when they both in the vast Eastern Eastern Frontline commanders, they just hit the German and enemy Air Force showed a knot. Rhodes and Goodun's land troops did not send a lot of use.

In contrast, Luo Mo's experience is very different. He can experience the shocking effects caused by the Allies to use strategic air force. It is worth mentioning that Rhodes and Goodun have an air force in the underestimated Allies. Multiple times the German air force at the time is several times, which is approximately a combined air force in the United States. Luo Mo learned this, but other senior commanders don't know - or they will reject this idea very quickly.

In order to solve the debate between them, Hitler disassemble six armored divisions in the north of France and divided three to Ramo. The remaining three are subject to the inland where the beach is properly distance, and the allowance of Hitler's combat staff can be dispatched. As for the air force deployment of the Coastal Coastal, the air force deployment in the northern part of France, because the air attacks in the Northern United States of France have continuously launched the air attack so that the German Air Force lose a lot of planes - and the German Air Force can only rise on June 6th. Empty twice.

Eisenhower is in the first 6 airborne division of the 101 Airborne Master, the United Kingdom, the first time to invest in fighting action (Tonga action). As early night 00:16, they were airdown to the left-wing area of ​​the landing area, and their goal was to capture the bridge near Pegasusbridge to prevent the German armored troops from going to the coast support. The paratroopers quickly occupied these bridges and successfully control them until the arrival of the landing of the landing will come. The goals of this action also include to capture the bunker of Mellevile. Although the landlog is not destroyed, after the battle, the land is all other than 6 people.

In contrast, the 82nd and 101nd airborne divisions are not so lucky. Because there is no experience, the troops are scattered throughout. Some paratroopers have unfortunately landed in the low-lying areas that were overwhelmed by the Germans in the sea, many people were drowned in water only and knee deep due to their weight, while being drowning in water only and knee deep. After 24 hours, 101 divisions only gated about 3,000 people. Many people are still fighting alone behind many days after D date. 82 Division occupied San - Mel-Aigris on the 6th, this town has become the first emanted town in France.

The US military landed in the US Army in Omaha Beach, the first infantry division experienced the most severe landing test in Ohamas Beach. Their water and land ribbed sergeant tanks are almost all lost before arriving in the beach. And their opponents, the 352th division, will be trained in the best beach and occupy the steep cliff overlooking the beach. The official records are as follows:

After 10 minutes of confusion, the (pioneer) team lost the power, no leadership and almost no combat capabilities. Every officer and the sergeant is not hurt. It is dead ... In order to survive and rescue efforts. "

The whole teacher exceeds 4,000 casualties. After the remainder, continue to attack the inland.

The cliff top gun bunker located in the huge concrete of Pointeduhoc is the goal of the 2nd assault camp. Their mission is to use ropes and ladders to climb 10 meters with ropes and ladders under the enemy's fire, then attack and destroy the bunker that is considered to be able to go to O'Hama and Utah landing area. They finally arrived in the bunker and destroyed the firepower (the Germans may leave the branch due to the previous shear). Nearly 50% of the casualties of the landing force.
