Rommel, you are in Germany at the moment and in no position to direct the battle. Serves you right for nipping home when the weather was raining a little.

Oh, and tell your mates not to put the bomb behind the table leg.

[Moscow Mule]

Rommel, I can see the future, mate. Shoot yourself now and save us a long-winded thread.

Past

EO - were you on that "commanders" (or whatever) program that Hammond was host of?

Reports of paratroops in my sector are confirmed. They have a foothold across the Orne but are VERY lightly armed. 12ss have not come under any air attack and are now halfway to the area. 21 panzer, who are closest have also moved 3km closer to the beaches, its now 10 am and they have lost only 10 vehicles. The counter attack goes on. No reports from any of the other forward defences, THAT is where the allied air power is concentrating.

My dear Rommel, you are already too late, Allied forces have been parachuting into Normandy since the early hours and for the last 5 hours, forces have been coming ashore in order to establish beach heads.

There is now sufficient foothold on 4 of the 5 landing grounds to secure heavier landings and provide re-inforcements.

It is also daylight, the RAF / USAF have domination of the skies over Normandy, any armour that moves during daylight will be subjected to heavy and prolonged straffing and rocket attacks from fighter bombers whilst any attempt by the Luftwaffe to intervene will be dealt with by the covering fighter escorts. This will restrict the Luftwaffe to just 8 operational sorties during the day.

Your armoured forces will be dealt with before they can get anywhere near the landing grounds.
