(Continued from faro )
It was merely another exam
ple of the age-old truth that
every battle plan comprises
merely an orderly commitment
of troops to battle under the
commander's calculations of de
sirable objectives and necessary
resources, but always with the
certainty that enemy reaction
win require constant tactical ad

stalemated and that those who
had prophesied a gloomy fate
for Overlord were being proved

On June 12. 1944. the first fly- necessary to a decisive, mobile
ing bomb, known as V-l, reach
ed London.
The V-l was a small pilotless
airplane which flew at high
speed on a predetermined course
and terminated its flight by
means of settings in its mechan
Ism. It contained a large amount
of explosive which detonated
upon contact, and the blast ef
fect was terrific.
The first V-2 was not used
until early August.
The V-2 bomb was particular
ly destructive when it fell di
rectly into a structure of some
kind. Owing to its speed, it pene
trated deeply into the ground
and its great explosive effect
was exerted directly upward.
It seemed likely that, if the
German had succeeded In per
fecting and using these new
weapons six months earlier
than he did, our Invasion of
Europe would have proved
exceedingly difficult, perhaps
Impossible.
I feel sure that if he had suc
ceeded in using these weapons
over a six-month period, and
particularly if he had made the
Portsmouth - Southampton area
one of his principal targets,
Overlord might have been writ
ten off.
Defensive measures against
the V-l soon attained a very
high degree of efficiency, but
even so, the threat of their ar
rival was always present at all
hours of the day and night and
in all kinds of weather.
We in the field wanted to cap
ture the areas from which these
weapons were fired against
outhern England.
On the left the German armor
and defensive strength contin
ued to defeat our intentions, but
the port of Cherbourg fell on
June 28, Just 20 days after the
landing.
General Collins had conduct
ed against it a relentless offen
sive and as a result of the opera
tinn justified his nickname.
"Lightning Joe."
Our bad luck was in the hur
ricane that struck us on June 19.
It stopped for a period of four
days nearly all landing activity
on the beaches and therefore in
terfered seriously with every
operation; it was so fierce in
character as to render offensive
fighting extremely difficult.
On the day of the storm's end
ing, I flew from one end of our
beach line to the other and
counted more than 300 wrecked
vessels above small-boat siz.e,
some so badly damaged they
could not be salvaged.
There was no sight in the
war that so impressed me with
the Industrial might of Am
erica as the wreckage on tha
landing beaches.
To any other nation the dis
aster would have been almost
decisive; but so great was Am
erica's productive capacity that
the great storm occasioned little
more than a ripple in the devel
opment of our build-up.
One incident, pleasing to me
personally and indicative of
General Marshall's constant
thnughtfulness for his subordi
nates, was the arrival of my son
in the theater about the middle
of June.
Me graduated from West Point
on D-Day and, with General
Marshall's approval, was given
authority to spend his .short
graduation lrave with me In the
battle area, subject only to the
proviso that be return to the
United States in time to enter
upon his advanced training by
July 1.
Late June was a difficult per
iod for all of us.
More than one of our high
ranking visitors began to ex-
battle
I spent much time in France,
conferring frequently with Gen
eral Bradley and General Mont
(joinery concerning timing and
strength of projected battle op
erations. Such visits with Brad
ley were always enjoyable be
cause he shared my liking for
roaming through the forward
areas to talk to the men actually
bearing the burden of battle
In temporary stalemates there
always exists the problem of
maintaining morale among the
fighting men while they are suf
fering losses and are meanwhile
hearing their commanders criti
sized. The commentators' voices
came into every squad and pla
toon over the tiny radios that
soldiers would never abandon.
The effect of carping becomes
more serious when soldiers find
it also in letters from relatives
at home who have been led to
expect the impossible. Among
green troops the problem is
much more serious than among
veterans.
The attitude of the latter was
well expressed in a remark
made to me one day by a ser-
gean, who with his railway unit
was waiting to go farther to the
front in order to start some
needed construction.
He said, "General, on the map
this job looked easy, but now
the Hcinies seem to have some
thing to say about it. But there
is nothing wrong with us that a
good, rousing victory won't
cure.
