Churchill called tho operation
"undoubtedly the most compli

Swedish correspondents re
ported from Germany that tho
nlllcs had landed at twelve
points botwocn the Orne and
Vlro rivers with the central as
sault directed at Caon, 10 miles
Inland and nt tho base of the
Cherbourg peninsula. The Ger
mans themselves called Caen the
"centor of gravity" of the at
tack. The Stockholm paper Aflon
blndol snld, "The attack seems
directed against tho most heav
ily defended section of the
French coast and aimed directly
Bt Paris."
Tho Gorman radio called it "a

area and numbers of troops and
admitted Normandy had been
penetrated by the airborne
troops "In great depth."
Thcro wos no confirmation
from allied sources of a rumor
that tho Caen airfields already
had been captured.
While tho allies described
German naval activity as negll
glble, the Germans claimed a
furious sea battle had developed
off Le Havre between nazl mo
tor torpedo boats and tht In
vasion fleet.

ino cnannct weather was
somewhat unsettled, but sun
broke through occasionally, and
ino wmn nod moderated.
Allied sources said the para
chutists dropped through low
ciouos, wniic the Germans com.
plained that In some Dlaces dum
mlea had been heaved over to
contuse the ground defenses.
The air assault hit new hi oh
today, with constant streams of
bomberi of every description
dumping repeated loads on the
chosen coastal area from which
i rencn patriots had been warn
ed by allied radios to withdraw
at least to a depth of 35 kilo
meters (22 miles).
Whllo the French thus were
warned away from tho Immedt
ate attack area, an allied officer
at headquarters declared, '"We
have high hopes of the under
ground in France which we have
aided so long."
General Elsenhower broad
cast during the morning an an
nouncement to the peoples of
western r,uropc, toning mem oi
tho landings and declaring, "All
patriots, young and old, will
imvo a part to play In Uie liber

It was disclosed that allied
naval losses had been "very, very

American warships, particular

in to the French shore and with
the help of the air forces virtual

German coastal gunfire was
described as sporadic.
In general, allied losses have
been much less than expected.
Between midnight last night
and 8 o'clock this morning allied
air craft flew 7500 sorties and
dropped 10,000 tons of bombs on
attacked areas in Normandy.
Losses of aircraft carrying air
borne troops were extremely
small although the airborne at
tack was on a very large scale,
it was said.
In the face of the powerful
allied attack, the German air
force flew, only SO sorties up to
about noon, but allied airmen
warned that a violent reaction by
the German air force was expect
ed soon. .
An order of the day by Reichs-
