D-DAY English side (Estonian reacts to Extra Credits)

[@electricpizza5774]

Unlike D-Day, the Dieppe Raid in August of 1942 wasn't intended to be the start of a major second front. The primary goal was to capture a major port, gather intel, and destroy Axis strategic assets, then leave. Had it succeeded, it could have been touted as a much-needed victory (boosting morale) and a proof-of-concept for amphibious invasion. It failed, but the lessons learned from the raid were used in planning D-Day.

In the book "Green Beach" one of the major missions of the raid was to capture a German radar station and see if the Germans had developed the cavity magnetron, the same device that creates micro waves in your microwave. The British used it to generate radio frequencies for radar. The Germans had not.

[@stevetheduck1425]

Important lessons were learned. That tanks do not work on stony beaches for example. - and that the attackers need complete, continuous air superiority. - and that they needed a way to get men and vehicles over the ten-foot concrete high-tide beach defences, a common feature on beaches near towns. - and that German practice was to set up machine-guns to fire along the beaches, rather than shooting out to sea, something we still see in movies. - and timing the attack so that the tide does not rise behind you, reducing the space needed to land troops and equipment exactly when you need the maximum space.

FOR ALL TRUE HISTORY BUFFS. Churchill was the first, after Eisenhower, to feel the confidence and enthusiasm that now radiated from Montgomery. Arriving at 6 o’clock on the evening of 31 December in Marrakesh, Monty found Churchill ‘in bed reading a copy of OVERLOARD’ flowen out specially in its latest edition from Morgan in London. Churchill was ‘recovering from his recent illness and did not look very fit,’ Monty noted in his diary. He (Churchill) said I (Monty) was to read OVERLORD and give him my (Monty) opinion about it. I (Monty) replied that I was not his military adviser. He (Churchill) then said he was very anxious to have my (Monty) first impressions of OVERLORD, which I (Monty) had never seen. So I (Monty) said I would read it through and would give him my ‘first impressions’ in the morining. The next morning, sitting besides Churchill in his car on the two-hour drive that had been planned to the Atlas mountains, Monty went over the ‘Overlord’ plan with the Prime Minister, and decared it to be ‘impracticable’. Not only was the size of the invasion force too small, but it commited the assaulting army to the same error that had doomed the Allies at Salemo, and would so again, despite the approval of Eisenhower, Bedell Smith, Alexander, Clark, Wilson, Tedder and Admiral John Cunningham (who had succeeded Sir Andrew Cunningham as Navel C-in-C, Mediterranean) at Anzio: namely the confinement of the invasion to one easily contained beachhead. Worse still, in terms of subsiquent build-up, was the attempt to land too many formations, both on D-Day and the succeedingt days, acrross the same beaches - beaches that would become fatally congested. By D+12 a total of 16 Divisions have been landed on the same beaches as were used in the initital landings. This would lead to the most appalling confusion on the beaches, and the smooth deveelopment of the land battle would be made extremely difficult -if not impossible. He (Monty) told Churchill. The answer, by contrast, was simple to land on a broad enough front to ensure that each succeeding wave of reinforcing divisions was fed straight into their respective Corps which had landed on D-Day. (a) The initial landings must be made on the widest possible front. (b) Corps must be able to develop0 their operations from their own beaches, and other Corps must NOT land though these beaches. (c) British and American areas of landing must be kept seperate. (d) After the initial landings, the operations must be developed in such a way that a good port is secured quickly for the British and American forces. Each should have its own port or group of ports. Monty’s idea was that ‘if such a thing was possible there would be many advantages in putting the armies on shore in such a way’ the British should secure the whole of Caen-Cherbourg coast, while the Americans took the west side of the Cherbourg peninsula, securing St Malo, St Nazaire and Brest. Above all, ‘air batlle must be won before the operation is launched. We must then aim at succeess in the land battle by the speed and violence of our operations. Once again, as in the Egyptian desert, Churchill was won over by the clarity and authority of the new commander he has only reluctantly appointed. ‘Evidently he was a firm believer in the operation,’ Churchill recorded almost incredulously,’ and I was pleased at this.’ When Churchill suggested they drive up to a favorite panoramic viewpoint in the mountains, Monty ‘got out and walked straight up the hill “to keep himself in training” as he put it. I (Churchill) warned him (Monty) not to waste his vigour, considering what was coming...that athelectics was one thing and strategy another. These admonitions were in vain,’ Churchill recalled with amusment. ‘The General was in the hightest spirts; he leaped about the rocks like an anelope, and I (Churchill) felt a strong reassurance that all would be well.’ Churchill’s ‘admonitions’ wre reciprocated by Montgomery. Aware that the Morgan plam was hopless, Monty was consumed by vexation at the way - as in ‘Husky’ and as in Italy - major military operations were planned on paper and handed over to their commanders too late for them to make alterations that would ensure their success: ‘I impressed on him the need to get exprenced fighting commanders “in” on any future operational plans early; if left too late it might not always be possible to change the layout of the operation; in every operation which I have been brought into in this war, changes in plan have been necessary and there has been all too little time, e.g. HUSKY in May, 1943, and now OVRLORD did not look good.’ That Monty would ‘grip the show’ was clear to Churchill, as it became, too, for the second time, to Eisenhower who stopped in Marrakesh briefly on his way back to Washington and had a secret meeting with Monty - a meeting he neglected to mention in his war memoirs. Monty, however, remembered the occasion very well, as he recalled when reading Eisenhower’s book in 1948: ‘Montgomery met Eisenhower in Marrakesh quite by accident, and took the opportunity to explain to him the tactical faults in the COSSAC plan. On having these faults pointed out, Eisenhower asked Montgomery to examine the whole plan in England, and gave him the necessary authority to do so. Churchill and Eisenhower might respond positively to Monty’s ‘grip’. Not all were happy about this, though - particularly thos who, like Harold Nicolson, resent Monty’s growing fame in Britain. ‘Montgomery today is the second most popular figure in England,’ Nicolson noted with distaste in his diary on 5 January 1944. Note: This extract is taken from Nigel Hamilton’s book, “Monty Master of The Battlefield 1942 - 1944.

On D-Day, the Canadian army had the second most defended beach to land on after the American Omaha beach, and by the end of the day they had managed to get the furthest inland. Great work by all those on all 5 beaches fir the hell they ran into to liberate Europe.

Dieppe wasn't a catastrophe as such. The objective was to see how long they could hold a port. It was practice for D-Day, and the men were sent on a suicide mission essentially, it was known at the time most were going to die, but it was essential that we gained the experience of invading France against the Germans. Everything that was learned at Dieppe made D-Day possible

Arthur i want to inform you that on dieppe there were approximatly 16,000 allied troops. 4,000 died and 10,000 got captured if i’m correct

So the raid thing didn't sound right to me. Looked it up. 3,000 people didn't die in the Dieppe Raid. There were 3,000 casualties (wounded, captured, killed) with about 900 killed on the allies side. There was more casualties on D-Day than there were participants in the raid.

You gotta admit, the highest honour a spy can receive is a medal from their enemy
