Improvement in the weather would make operations very much easier for there was a great amount of seasickness among the first troops crossing. Many got wet disem-t barking. A naval officer, just returned from the beaches, said that taking the operation as a whole the weather probably was worse than at the time of the Sicily landings. Deteriorating weather during the day yesterday forced the bombers of the Allied Expeditionary Air Force to attack at low altitudes, risking heavy flak. (NBC in New York reported the secret German radio station on the Atlantic broadcast that the wind over the Channel had grown stronger and no new landings were exoected last night).

Storm predictions previously had laden with men and guns and tanks made the Channel passage to come to grips with the foe. The coast of Normandy obviously is not the short and direct road to Berlin. That lies farther to the north and east across the low countries. The Germans may anticipate that an Allied follow-up of even greater proportions across the Channel narrows between Dover and Calais is also impending. The Luftwaffe, which did not.

But the sun broke through by daybreak, and by the afternoon of the fateful D-Day, June 6, Allied fliers who returned from smashing Hitler's Westwall reported a "beautiful day" over France.
