An unprecedented assault, launched in connection with the largest Invasion exercises ever seen in the Channel, climaxed eighteen hours of steady pounding of Adolf Hitler's Atlantic fortifications during which not a single Allied plane was brought down by German air units charged with defending Europe against the long-awaited Allied push. Enemy naval vessels and coast artillery were among the prime targets of a vast bombardment, accompanying the Inva sion rehearsal which kept the French coastline alightall night with bomb bursts and anti aircraft fire which rattled win dows thLs morning six miles in land from the English shore.
