The Allic 3 have never dis guised their intention to establish other beachheads as well.

Where these will be it is for the Germans to guess. The map above shows the considerations of terrain, Nazi defenses and strategic position which the British and American strategists have had to consider in deciding on where to strike next along the western coast of Europe from The Netherlands to Spain.

DAH'LL 1 I 0lKDy I ftntfeus Asprei' Cavaillon Orgort Marseille Because it seems likely that with the capture of Cherbourg, the Allies will turn their attention to retaking the Channel Islands, this group is presented in more detailed form in the inset. In any event, it is good Allied strategy to keep the Nazis guessing. The German high command to day could not devote its full attention even to the defense of Cherbourg (or the rescue of its garrison) because Gen. Eisenhower hinted by radio of things to come. In a broadcast he warned fishermen of Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium and France to stay port until 9 p.m.

June 29. This was the second seven day extension of his original radio warning..
