Im getting use to this ai reading. It's pretty good for going to sleep to. But man those chapter breaks are jarring. Anyway of added a few breaks when you copy and paste the text?
The German strategy was based on the theory that the Allies would need to capture an operational port. They therefore focused their resources and defences around the ports, leaving the beaches thinly defended with little depth. As Spier stated in his memoir, "with a single stroke of technological genius the Allies rendered the entire concept redundant by bring their own port with them"
The kind of genius which is sadly lacking from the numpties who run the UK and the USA these days
79 years ago today Germany surrendered.
Rommel talking about troops at their most vulnerable right at landing on the beach problems including, "heavy weapons are not yet available in sufficient quantity". Who needs heavy weapons when you can call in Naval gunfire. 14",15" and 16" certainly count has heavy weapons as should 8", 6" and 5" guns. The Germans around Normandy who were on the wrong end of it used it as an excuse for Allied success.
The Casemates on the beach were incredibly strong due to the innovative way they were built. The concrete was extremely hard due to a new way of mixing it - using equipment designed by a high-ranking officer.
The Rommel Tromell was used extensively in the construction of the Atlantikwall.
Presumably Rommel wanted Artillary to bombard the beaches. I wars infantrys greatest fear is artillary.
@@gibson617ajgBut if the 3 or 4 Battleships that the U S Navy had had been brought in closer , much closer than they were , those gun emplacements could have been completely destroyed . I blame the Navy for the large amount of casualties on D - Day , they were just too far away .
I never understood why the Allies risked informing saboteurs ahead of time about the invasion.
Good description.
Glad you think so!
Ww2 tales -, did the Allies know obout his wife's birthday or his planned visit to Germany?
Sir we are not sure about that, regards
In one of the books on Bletchley park by David Kahn (either The Code Breakers or Seizing the Enigma) the British had intercepted Rommel’s travel and there was instant panic. The code breakers were, by design, a mix of people from all walks of life and one of the socialites was able to connect Rommel’s wife’s birthday to his trip.
The power of Bletchley park came from that insane ability to put status aside and get together to solve a problem. They had linguists, women, men, cryptanalysts, military, socialites, technicians, engineers, etc.
Prayers were answered. The grace of God prevailed as their Fuerer slept. Rommel attended his wife's birthday party and massive invasion assault began leaving the German high command in confusion.
Plus British intelligence and various complex manoeuvres including using 617 squadron (the Dam Busters) to fool German radar!!
Hitler didn't do anything even when he was awake. He thought any assault would come from elsewhere.
Yep
Testing
How did they get the carrier pigeons from the UK to France in the first place? You can't just tell a pigeon to fly wherever. They fly home.
They were taken in wicker baskets.
@@gibson617ajg Thanks. By people sneaking in on boats across the Channel?
No , By Lysander.
On a boat 😂
Possibly both aircraft and boats
It would help to indicate that this is an audio only narration, not a documentary.
Pure abject failure on the Germans part. The Lies should have never gotten off the Beach.
Interesting, is that a derogatory name for the Allies?
@@jtzoltan It could be and would be correct, but no a typo.
@@theculturedthug6609 ah ok thanks for clarifying
Are you Woke or something?
If they had planned the invasion better , used the Marines , came in 3 hours earlier , thousands of lives could have been saved .
BORING!!!!!
