Invasion
Prelude
.
.
.
Air
assault
on
Europe
is
being
taken
as
the
final
signal
for"
the"
opening
of
the
Second
Front.
Soon
the
amphibious
forces
may
push
off.
For
weeks
the
so-called
"invasion
coast'
has
been
pounded
in
every
spare
moment
And
recently
the
pattern.
ott
bomo-inir
has
included
railroads,
bridires
and
airfields
which
must
be
kn6cked
out
to
cripple
the
Nazis
counterattacks
when
invasion
begins.
Many
of
these
rail
and
air
centres
were
in
France
and
the
Low
Countries.

The
intensity
of
tlie
air
invasion
can
be
measured
(
by
the
tons
of
bombs
dropped
double
what
the
Germans
landed
on
Britain
in
the
worst
four
months
of
the
air
blitz.

heaviest

of
the
war.
The
scope
of
the
attack
can
be
measilrell
by
American
bomber
sorties
a
the
way
from
Toulouse
in
southern
France
to
MarienbUrg
in
East
Prussia
and
to

Poland;
to
say
nothing
of
Italian-based
raids
on
Austria,
Hungary,
Rumania,
and,
Bulgaria.
The
light

some
of
the
long-range
raids
indicate
either
that

Luftwaffe
is
so
stretched
that
it
cannot
defend
everywhere
dr
that
the
Nazis
are
husbanding
their
fighters
and
concentrating
them
near
the

coasts.
When
D-day

even
the
heavy
bombers
will
be
striking
closer
to
the
front,
leaving

When
