Invasion Blows Strike At Occupied Europe By Associated Tress American, British and Canadian troops Tuesday morning, launching the greatest overseas military operation in history, have effected landings on the French invasion coast and their supreme commander, General Dwight G. Eisenhower, spurred them on with the statement, we will accept nothing except the full victory over the German masters of the continent. The invasion was announced at 7:32 a. m., (1.32 a. m. mountain war time) in this one sentence communique No. 1: Under the command of General Eisenhower, allied naval forces supported by strong air forces, began landing allied armies Tuesday morning on the northern coast of France. It was announced a few moments later that Britains General Sir Bernard L. Montgomery, hero of the African desert, was in charge of the assault. No locations of the landings were announced. For three hours previous to the allied announcement, the German radio had been pouring forth a series of flashes reporting that the allies were landing between La Havre and Cherbourg along the south side of the bay of the Siene river and along the north coast of Normandy. (Later, allied announcements confirmed the enemy report.) Allied soldiers were reported to have leaped onto the shores which the Germans have spent nearly four years in fortifying, while allied planes and ships hurled into those defenses, barrages which the Nazis admitted were terriffic. The fleet included several battleships, which set the whole Seine bay area ablaze with their fire. The Germans announced also that American reinforcements began landing at dawn, and that in some places dummy parachutists were dropped to confuse the defense. A later allied communique described fierce fighting between allied parachutists and German sion-resisting forces, near Rouen, 50 miles along the road to Paris. Gliders also were reported in various 'V areas. The great allied armadas dwarfed anything yet seen on the seas. Hugh transport planes filled with paratroopers and troops in gliders roared over the pulling German west wall to drop their cargos in the rear. Berlin said that masses of allied parachute troops bailed out over Normandy trying to seize airfields. All night long London and England resounded to the roar of thousands of airplanes, some carrying bombs, some carrying men. Returning RAF bombers met big fleets of flying fortresses on their way out. (Later, it was reported that before dusk Tuesday, allied planes had flown 7500 sorties and dropped 10,000 tons of bombs. Losses were described as unusually for light.) Resistance was reported as light and few casualties Drive Opened were experienced in the early landings. Also lacking was expected resistance on the seas and in the air, as the allies apparently had their own way, for most of the operation. Few attacks were made on some allied ships by German motor torpedo boats. Prime Minister Winston Churchill expressed surprise at the lack of resistance, but warned against and an easy 'victory. Some commentators, predicted the Germans would let the allied advance some distance inland before launching the expected counter attack utilizing their which are said to number 1,000,000 men nated for the duration by the mobile forces, Smith Brothers Lumber Co. along the west wall.
