"OPERATION OVERLORD" PLANS (REPRINT)
Postwar reprint of the top secret British War Office report: "OVERLORD...OUTLINE MOUNTING PLAN". The report, 12pp. legal folio plus covers, was issued on Mar. 10, 1944 to Adm. Bertram Ramsay, Air Marshal Trafford L. Leigh-Mallory, and Gen. Bernard L. Montgomery. The plan sets forth the anticipated date of attack (May 31, 1944) and broadly sets forth the operation's plans and expectations. Estimates of landing craft and troop strength are also laid out in tables, with a fold-out map in the rear showing the approaches to, and defensive structures in and around Val sur Mer.
