However, there was no confirmation of - any landings except in the Normandy area. Supreme headquarters reported the weather, which proved: one of the principal tnreats to the landings land-ings yesterday, had moderated slightly, though the wind still whipped up waves three feet high. Many cases of seasickness among the invasion forces have been re ported. The improvement in the weather also raisedthe possibility that the Allied air forces would outstrip yesterday's record number- of 13, 000 sorties and for the first time could .throw the full weight of their power against areas where Allied elite shock troops were ex panding their footholds.
