" Six weeks after the Allied invasion of Normandy, Operation OVERLORD showed distressing signs of stalemate. Morale hardly improved when British efforts to expand the bridgehead south of Caen gained little ground in Operation GOODWOOD, an attack led on July 18 by three armored divisions which together lost more than 400 tanks.
That decisive blow, known as COBRA, was largely planned by the U.S. In fact, the bombing had unhinged German defenses almost precisely as planned. OPERATION OVERLORD - THE D-DAY LANDINGS - Мозилин фајерфокс (Mozilla Firefox) Background Immediately after the Japanese attack on Pearl Harbour the Allies created the "Combined Chiefs of Staff" (CCS) comprising the United States Joint Chiefs of Staff and the British Chiefs of Staff.
Their function was to assist and advise President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill on the direction and conduct of the war. The CCS confirmed a previous policy of "Germany first" and, from March 1942, their planning group began work on an outline plan for a full-scale invasion of Europe. They initially hoped to invade Europe in 1943 but the realities of insufficient materials and manpower, and the demands of other operations agreed upon, delayed this effort until 1944 - this despite persistent agitation from Stalin to open a second front to relieve pressure in the East. The CCS planning group, taking into account the experience provided by the ill fated Dieppe raid, quickly ruled out a frontal attack on a fortified port and looked for alternative landing sites. Outline of Operation OVERLORD - Мозилин фајерфокс (Mozilla Firefox) [8-3.4 AA Volume 7] [Note: This manuscript was prepared by the Historical Section of the G-4 of the Communications Zone, European Theater of Operations (COMZ, ETOUSA) as volume seven of its multi-volume manuscript organizational history.
It was subsequently deposited at the Office of the Chief of Military History (OCMH; now US Army Center of Military History) for reference use by historians preparing the official history of the Army in World War II. It is typical of the kinds of detailed studies routinely acquired (as in this case) or carried out by the deployed historians during World War II. The original is on file in the Historical Manuscripts Collection (HMC) under file number 8-3.4 AA v.7, which should be cited in footnotes, along with the title. It is reproduced here with only those limited modifications required to adapt to the World Wide Web; spelling, punctuation, and slang usage have not been altered from the original. 1. 2. 3.

Roosevelt met together in Teheran, Iran, to discuss military strategy and postwar Europe. Ever since the Soviet Union had entered the war, Stalin had been demanding that the Allies open a second front in Europe. Churchill and Roosevelt were hesitant because they believed any attempt to land troops in Western Europe would result in heavy casualties. Stalin, however, didn't trust his allies, and feared they might sign a peace agreement with Adolf Hitler and, perhaps, turn their attention to crushing the communist system in the Soviet Union. Stalin also knew that it would be difficult for his troops to defeat the Germans without the United States fighting them in Europe. At Teheran, Stalin reminded Churchill and Roosevelt they had promised an invasion in 1942, and again in the spring of 1943, but he saw no sign of an allied invasion of France.
