I. SI !-.' AR\ OF TE2 ENEMT SITUATION

1. ENEMY AGTl 1TISS II? TiSi FORWARD AREAS A! J NEW IDENTIFICATIONS, a. Static
Divisions in tbie' Assault Area. The coastal sector to be' assaulted ly the
7 Corps is occupied by the Y'l^th Infantry Division, a defensive division,
thought to be composed of two infantry regiments (possibly three), two artill
ery battalions (possibly three), and a certain proportion of otter division
troops. Detailed dispositions are shown on Overlay No. 1. Details of order
of battle have already been issued on special order of battle reports which
will be corrected periodically. It should be noted that most of the artillery,
AA units, infantry gun companies, heavy -weapons companies and other supporting
elements of this division are almost completely integrated into the small
strongpoints along the fifty-mile coastal sector.
(1) The coastal sector on the imodiate. West (CHERBOURG Peninsula)
is held by the 709th Infantry Division. Details of composition and locations
have already been issued, on order of battle cards.
(2) The coastal sector on tho immediate East (CAEN-River SEINE)
is held by the 711th Infantry Division. Details of composition and locations
have already been issued.
(3) The' 2lt3rd Infantry Division has recently been identified at the
base of the CiMffiOURG Peninsula.. This identification has not been definitely
confirmed and some reports snow it to be the 2U5th Infantry Division. Little
is known concerning the composition, disposition or combat value of this div­
ision. It is probable that it may be holding a portion of the West Ceast of
the CHERBOURG Peninsula, although it is possible that it may be employed as
a local reserve.
b« Other Ground Force Elements in the Area. There have been reports
of an armored, car battalion in the ST? LO area and also reports of RUSSIAN .
cavalry in the 352nd Division Area (CALVADOS)• There is not sufficient evi­
dence to shew that these are actually separate units and. it is possible that
either or both may be the reconnaissance battalion of the 35>2nd Infantry Divi­
sion. There is some evidence that troops of this type have operated in a mobile
role and they appear to have the necessary allotment of 50 and 37 milliBoter
Anti-Tank guns' needed by an infantry reconnaissance battalion, in*addition to
the entire unit being mounted. Some reports have stated that a cavalry regi­
mental headquarters is located at COUTANCES. The only other minor ground force
element definitely located in the area is a battalion of the 193rd Local Defense
Regiment at ST LO, probably there with the mission of protecting tho LXXXIV
Corps OP -which is located there,
c» Enemy Defenses in the Assault Area. (1) The general scheme of hostile
defenses in the assault area places practically all of the organized defenses
either on the beach or on the plateau immediately behind the beach. There is .
yet no conclusive evidence that any defensive lines including pill boxes and
infantry positions are being constructed in3a nd from the coast, although recent
information shows that it is likely that a new policy of constructing at least
a.second line of defense, if not more, behind tho beach defenses themselves
isill be adopted. No information as yet available has indic ted that this
policy has been extended to include the area of the 29th Division.
(2) Details of coastal defenses are given on TIS Maps l/l2,5>00, De­
fense Overprints, (Sheets 77-81 inclusive, GSGS UU90), information as of Febru­
ary 19''U» (Distribution has been made to regimental war ro ans). These maps'itill
be"kept current-by.issue'Of periodic Enemy"Defjioports as new information becomes

available*,.It,is,to be remembered that the mission of the. 29th Division does .

not call for the assault of those beach defenses and therefore.this data ig
being supplied ehiefly for information only. However, it is possible that
the enemy situation will be such as to require reduction' of some coast defenses
by units under command'of the'29th Division and for that reason coastal defenses
should be kept in complete detail* , -

(3) A summary. of the coastal defenses shows the following: OMAHA

Beach is covered, by a total of 16 defended localities or strongpoints•• Of
these, about 6 are manned by approximately a.platoon each and 10 by a squad
each. The portion of the beach-being assaulted by the Il6th Infantry is cov­
ered by 7 defended localities, 3.of platoon and U of squad size# To the West
of thd beach and following the coast on around to. ISIGNY there are 22- defended
localities. Of these 9 are-manned by approximately -a platoon and 13 by a squad#
The following are integrated into these defenses; ' .

(a) , Artillery# At MAISY (528915) a h -gun fLsld. battery, 7$m.y.

of the 716 Division~"FloTci Artillery# Iiifornatioh- dated 6 March 19U!i- shows this
position to be unoccupied. However, at (532913) air photographs snow a four"
gun battery in rough earthen emplacements, indicating the possibility that the
battery-may just hove changed positions# If .this is the same battery the range .
is 10,300 yards#
-At (5339-!-8) there is a battery of k - l55mm
howitzers manned by Army Static Coast Battery personnel# The guns are counted
in open circular-- jpits, face the VIKE Estuary and have a range of 13,000 yards#
- . ." ' At 1OH'ffS DIJ HOS (586938) there is a coastal
batters'" (2nd Battery 832' Army Coastal'Battalion) consisting of 6 - 13>5rom guns#
These guns have a range of 22,000 yards or more (possibly 25,000). They are
French guns, probably GPP# Until recently the guns were in Open emplacements.
Recent information (18 March 19UU) -indicates that the guns are now being put
into pro-fabricated emplacements (2,«-6" concrete top)# A six.gun dummy posi­
tion exists at (580937).
At (588932) is an unoccupied 1| gun position#
• At ST PIERRE DU MOOT (59993U) a four guil battery
position is under construction. The emplacements at*o rectangular, about 2h
feet across, in a crescent layout and with the center line NORTH# Wo guns
(8 March 194U) were visible and it is considered-that;tids^-is probably a pre­
pared position for a light battery from" the division artillery.
At (6228";7) a four gun battery position is
under construction,
(b) Anti-aix-craft Artillery# - Along the coast anti-aircraft •
lif-;ht and machine .guns are located as follows: 1 at (U50895)j 1 at.(472880)j
3 at (U75826)j 2 at (U828UU); 3 at (53393?)3 2 at (530935); h at (586937)5
3 at (62)1930)3 2 at (653912) J 1 "at (661906)5 2 at (669902); 1 at (678896).
"While these guns are primarily sited for defense against air attack it must bo
remembered that they are capable of firing at. ground targets and are therefore
.to be considered in the ground defense.scheme. '
" In addition to the AA listed above there are' usually 3-6
ships at PORT 3M 3ESSJSN araod one each -with 20 or 37e® AA guns.1 Late in 19U2
a reserve of eight 88m AA guns were reported at ISIGNY. These guns were not
considered to be in position, but rather in mobile reserve, ready to move to -
any threatened area. None of these guns are now visible- from photos although
as late as-k January 19UU air crews have reported heavy AA fire at ISIGNY, ST
L0, and BAYSUX. Finally,- it is possible that small*numbu-rs of light Ail guns
mounted on railway cars nay be encountered at BAYSUX," LISON, "AIREL, ST L0 and
ISIGNY. -

The enemy, however, has reeh-active in thisvrespect "along the East coast of the
CHERBOURG Peninsula and also to the East of the•assault area. Underwater ob­
stacles have been discovered as-far West,as COlJi&EULLES-SI'R-MER (9?85)«
Sometme ago it ms'apparent that tiie Gorman High'Command
had',ordered more extensile mining in- the West;,' It -was determined that the
scope of mining would be" sufficient to give each coastal sector an approximate
length of soine 85 miles of minefields. It is possible that the entire length
of OMikS/i Beach.-will be mined. -In addition.minefields will,exist around strong- • i
point areas, on:and along roads arid exits and along the- Cliffs behind the beaches

. b* Interior Defenses. No definitely.prepared interior defense lines
are knowh~to exist in the' aroa of the 29th Division. Interior defenses are
,, primarily the inundated areas in the valleys of the AUR3 aM VIRE. Details of
these are discussed in Appendix A - Terrain Appreciation. Road blocks and
. ' . minefields- can bo expected along^the nain routes of approach and at defnJ.es>
At ISIGI-'T for example there are 9 units of Element ."C" used as rock blocks.
Furthermore, all- the inain bridges, in addition to some of the lesser ones, can
be expected to be prepared for demolition. At present it.is evident th t the
/• ' enemy, intends to defend important inland localities. In our area it i:s likely
that the following towns mil be defended with prepared defenses; XSIGMY, TRE-. '
• VliSHS, ST LO, TORIGNI SUR.VIRE and GAlMT#. There are evidences of fairly.
' strong defenses in the dump area of the KORET DS CERISY.
. 1
c. Dumps,. The enemy has .followed1 the principle of keeping his dumps
dispersed, buried underground v/herover possible, and away from .important air
targets. The largest dump in the arefa is in'the FGRET EE' C&ISY> which is. a .
- •-large ammunition and fuel dump. Supplies are scattered well through the forest
. area, some-are.underground and a total of 22 huts (for ammunition?)has- been
observed* Other dumps include the. foilowings_ At BGIS DE BATJGY (7067) an
v ammunition dump is probablej at CONDE SUR-VTRE (5356) a fuel dump (in cms)
exists) at ST LO (U963) there is an ergineer supply dianpj at GOUVAII-JS (5568) 1.
a fuel dump (capacity 1,800,000 liters) and possibly an ammunition dranp in :
- connection - therewith'has l^een reported! in the B0I§ DU HOMMET (U072) an ajmrrun-
: ition dump is located. • ,
- &# Motor Transport., There are no motor parks of any note in the
imedtate*'"area. "The only one of any significance is the/GHQ 'park HKP.(ifceros-
kraftfahrparke) 528 at ST LO. There is an armored park at LIVRY (73^1) where
; , sone 200-3OO1 armored'vehicles have been reported. It must be remembered how­
ever that large reserves cf • motof* transport arc located '.in the PARIS area
which could be.made available to forward units in 3—14. days-#..' In. the 29th
Division•area itself any units not already mobile would have to depend on
impressed French civilian or commercial transport fox- movement by highway#
' ' ' e. Resources. The GI'iLJliDOS district is primarily agricultural# It
isinot believed that, aside from some timber, mostly oak, beech and pine,
obtainable from the forests South of the AURE and some.rock obtainable' from
. local quarries, any local resources can be planned on for use of the invading
force. ' -In- general any.supplies now in the area will probably bo removed or
destroyed -by the enemy#
• f. Civilian Population# The NORMAN people arc largely reactionary
in their political views. in spite of this.the Collaborationist parties have •
failed to make'any -noticeable headway in the OVSiiLORD area. Details of the
civil adnircLstrntion and the population are covered in the civil affairs section
of this plan#.
(1) The OVFiiLOUD area has been evacuated to a large extent of
persons considered non-essential residents. The sea front has been barred to
all except bathers and. fisherman and then only a few designated beaches and
harbors have boon m do accessible. A forbidden zone exists along the PARIS-
CHERBOURG Railway from BATEUX (exclusive) to the junction at LA HODERIE (55375U),
. thence to St. FROMOND.(5057U8) and ST.. JEAN DE DAXS (1*70758). Access to the
zone is 'limited to residents in the sone or residents of the coastal department
concerned. Others must obtain a Laissez-passer granted for special reasons only
by the Koiuaandanturen concerned. In case of invasion it nay be expected that'
evacuation will be attempted -and a state of siege declared. •
(2) During the initial stages of invasion it may be ejected that
«% tne population as a whole will do its- best to hinder the Geman defense. This
***> aid to the Allies will, be in the foro of active sabotage and subversion. The
v. - slower cjur ,advance and."th,e.£Long«r our stay in any particular area the ,less will
this assistance ;b;;botidf3cli®c:pt for the organized resistance. Any active Colla­
borationists maybe expected to aid the Germans. •

2. DISCUSSION OF C,,PABILITIhS.
• • a» The enemy undoubtedly realizes that we. mil- be most vulnerable in
our cbnoentratiOn ax:d embarkation areas-. The- present outlay of tents which '
can eas-ly- belocated by his reconnaissance will.show them to be good targets..
This outlay will undoubtedly indicate to: him trnich ports of embarkation we
intend to use-# ¥hon movement from the m rstalling areas to the hards commences
, and during.«laiiding.ftvirthop; good targets will be offered him. In order to reach
us, however, he mil.have to fight his way through ®ur defenses. On the. other
•handj we.will present a less favorable.target once we put to sea and during
landing operations, Our defenses, however, will be weaker and we will be
nearing his airdromes. The exact extent of his capabilities cannot be fully
determined until results'of.present air operations designed to reduce the
GAF are known, \ >• . ',. - * •
b» "While the- -Naval capabilities are always a threat, it is not expected
that any large scale surface effort -can be made in view of overwhelming Allied
Naval superiority. Although he has. some 100 submarines available it is not
expected that he vri.ll conmit them to .any narked degree in the Channel waters.
Cm Because of the* vast amount of coastline held (.1600 miles) and since
he does not know definitely where the Allied attack will come, it would be
difficult for the enemy to establish r gid enough priorities on labor and
equipment to materially increase the. defenses in our sector. A general in­
crease in defenses on the coast can, however, be expected with our sector
receiving .g,-.certain,proportion# - Recently it has become apparent that the <
enemy has adopted the policy of moving-infantry divisions into areas-immed­
iately backing up coastal divisions. Such is the case with 3!?2 Infantry
Division in the ST L0 area. These divisions can be used in a secondary def rise .
role or can be moved right into the coastal area to shorten the sectors now '
held by coastal divisions. In view of the ^offensive organization of the
"352nd Infantry Division, it is not thought likely that it trill be used direct­
ly on the coast. From-a survey of present committments in his defensive
scheme, it is not likely that any other units can be spared to.bolster the: . . ..
coastal defense, in our .area. - \
• d. A counterattack by his local reserves is a certainty.. It is believed,
"however, that these reserves all be used in a piecemeal fashion in an attempt
to seal ofi penetrations na.de through'the coastal defenses rather than in any
co-ordinated attempt at breaking through,
o# A counterattack in this manner would be designjd to break through to
the "beaches prior to our having time to fully organize and consolidate after
the assault. If these units could arrive as given it is likely that such a(jountes
attack would occur as that would be in kcqping with stated German policies.
. However, if any delay in the movement of his reserves -is inflicted it is not
likely that he will attempt such a counterattack on D-day particularly in cur.'
sector where the employment of truly mobile forces (v Panzer and Panzer,Grenadier)-
is so restricted.' "
f• In view of the fact that the enemy has inundated the AUItE Valley, and
because he has stationed one full battalion at the mouth of the D0UVB. thus ,
placing extreme importance- on ISIGNY this seems a very likely capability# Frev-
i -usly prepared positions along the GIlANDC,iKP-3T.«'' and TiiEVIEiiS-
GOTTUN ridges tied in with the excellent obstacles of the inundated area would
make this an extremely difficult position to crack. . .
£•" A delay in successive positions mil undoubtedly be called for since
the* enemy will'want to contain us in a place favorable for a coordinated',counter­
attack* However, unless hemov.-s them there prior to D-day, it is highly un­
likely that he can hold us for very long N of too AUBE with the trocps he has '
available# Furthermore, if he can keep us bottled up there, he can use his
counterattack force to*" a better advantage against the British in the more
favorable C/vEN-B^IEUX area, and;-^against the left flank of the 1st U.S. Inf­
antry Division:just West of BA'|E|X*.

TERRAIN APPREGIATION

1. General* a. The purpose of this study is to', give ""a detailed descrip­
tion" and evaluation of-the terrain 'irt 'thfe • area of operations,of the 29th U.S.
, Infantry Division .within the probable' zone of potior!' of the V Corps through
D plus 9* Conclusions are is.tended to determine the effect of the terrain on
the lines of action open to the opposing forces, Vilhere photographic cover is
available to illustrate some particular point the sortie.and photo numbers,
will be referred to,, and the date of qover given., -

. , b. The.area of assault is.in NORTHERN FRANCE which is divided into '

the PARIS BASIN to the NORTH-EAST, a vasl plain, and the AMOEICaN MASSIF to
the NORTH-WEST, which is hilly..-The whole of NORTHERN FRANCE is agricultural
.,'country^ except'for the vexy important joining and textile area around LILLE,
and the ROUEN'and,PARIS industrial areas..' The.-two groat rivers in the area . ;
arte the SEINE and the LOIRE. • : . .

-. c. The PARIS: BASIN comprises one-sixth of the total area of FRANCE. >
and is formed around.' the River SEINE with the SOUBaE to the EAST and the ORNE ' ;
; to the-J'JEST. Inland, the PARIS BASIN SOUTH.-of the SEINE is a vast, flat '..""e
plain, with few trees. NORTH of the SEINE the country is undulating, fertile ' ;r-
and specked with'woods in PICAitDYy but windswept and desolate in GHAMPAG33S to
tha .'NORTH-EAST* The coastal area fallsnaturally into three sectors:

(1) PAS PE CALAIS : * ;

. ~
' ( 2 ) SOME-SEINE . ' ' \
' . ; ; , V , (3) WEST N0MANDI-- : " : • f

- i d. The area of assault specifically lies- in the T/GST NORMANDY sectori ^

"WEST NORMANDY, is mainly high ground, well wooded and cut up into innumerable -
hedged fields,. There arc, however, extensive marshes and low ground at the
base'of.the , C.OTENTIN..BEninsula« " It is with • these' thai the 29th U.S. Infantry
• Division will have to'deal initially. Aside from the marshy'area there is a, ...
belt of1 more open country running'inland'-.from CAEN to the upper SARTHE valley.
:v:' •
The main chains of hills are the COLLINESDE NGHMANDIE (up to 1300 feet) and
the COLLINES DU FERCHE (up to nearly 1000 feet). They are flat-topped and
the approaches from the NORTH .and -WEST are isomewhat • abrupt# The coast varies'
with flat beaches backed by low ground near the mouth of the SEINE and on the
SOUTHERN part of the GONTENTIN Peninsula, and;cliffs and rocks in CALVADOS
and on the NORTHERN half of the Peninsula. "The only big seaport' is CHERBOURG,
primarily a naval port. Subsequent operations.of the '29th U.S. Infantry Divi­
sion my occur in the • AMORICAN MAS'SIF (BRITTANY) which has a fairly low lying
coastal area with a central backbone -of hills and plateaus. Since this area
does not.lis within the probable aono of action' of the V Corps up to D plus 9
• it will not be discussed in detail. •
, ' ' •:

e. The terrain influences the general GERMAN defense plan as follows*".

(1) Distance of any given -area from Allied sea and air bases.
The enemy realizes that Allied problems in shipping require-
: v ments increase and air superiority becomes more difficult to
•- / achieve the further.-away from the U.K. the assault occurs.
For that reason he has fortified heavily the PAS DE CALAIS
, .and FLANDERS; areas, while his defenses become progressively
- . weaker toward BRITTANY and southward ..to the BISCAY,'COAST.
' '' (2) Nature of the Coastline. ,
The coastline held by the enemy is long, even without includ­
ing,allowances for islands and minor indentations, as follows:

. HOLLAND. ifc', . 200.miles " ;u

. BELGIUM '.'40. miles

- LJ ,'u3 Approximate Total 1600 miles •

• (a) Distribution of major ports. •

• . '• ' The enemy realizes that ports,', especially''commercial
\ ones, arc essential to maintain an adequate build»up
and therefore all.ports are heavily-.defended with a
perimeter defense.
(b) Distribution ol" .good landing beaches. \
All available fire power in any given area is con­
centrated on the best beaches.
(c) Decree of indentnoss of the coast* .
Where the coastline is relatively unind^nted, defenses
will be,spread evenly; along the beaches. Where it is
heavily indented (e.g., BRITTANY) the coastline, it­
self 'cannot be readily manned and infantry will be
held back from the coast in reserve. .
' • . J '
(3) Nature of the inland ai'eas. - .
As the enemy is coroedtted to defending the line of the
coast, this consideration influences his plan but little.
FLANDERS .is hopeless going inland, yet the coast itself,
is very heavily defended. Further, areas where there-
is higher•ground and better going 'inland, though tempt-
; , ing to an invader, normally favor the use of mobile
reserves in counterattack, The broadest natural features,
.' particularly the greatest-rivers, the RHINE, SEINE and
LOIRE, arc used for inter-army boundaries, but no inter­
ior defense positions based on them are yet prepared,
. (It. should be noted that the river mouth itself is never
a boundary, both sides being inclusive to one commander),
(4) Distribution of ma.jor objectives.
• ' Short of FRiii-ICE itself, probably the only major objec­
tives which the enemy must defend in thoj,r own right are
the BISCAY U-boat bases. _ •

2. Terrain Factors in V Corps Assault Area, a. For details see

Part III of Annex No. 1 to V Corps Operations Plan "NEPTUI®" (G-2 Estimate
of the Enemy Situation.) The main items are summarized below.

' b. Clinate. Sifilar to that of Southeastern England) winters

comparatively mild and summers cool.
• ' !

(1) Average temperature; Winter 35-39 degrees F»; summer

59-64 degrees F. , -
(2) Humidity:• High, frequent-fog and mists, especially in-
•iut unn.
(3) Prevailing winds; From the South and West. When from
this direction Omaha Beach is calm. When- from the North
or Northeast the surf is likely to be high and approaches
to the beaches dangerous or impossible,
(4) Rainfall: Annual variation 24-31 inches, the least during
late spring and summer.

c. Tide. The state of the sea along the Channel Coast is ap­
preciably affected by the direction and rate of the tidal
stream.- At Omaha Peach the rise and fall of the tide is quite
rapid, but the length of the stand of high tide is exception­
ally long. The period during which the sea level does not
vary more...than.four inches is two hours.at neap tide'and one
hour at spring tidej the period during which the variation is
«A "not more thaiv'20 inches is four hours at neap tide and three

(1) Drainage,
In general, the drainage system as composed by the AURE, the
VIBE.,- the DItOME and the small streams comprising the TAUTE
(south of CAHENTAN), runs north toward the sea, with the ex­
ception of the River AURE, which flows for the most part west
across the- entire , area. With the exception of the VIRE and
the AURE below TTJSVIEHES (643639) all streams are fordable.
The River AURE is crossed by few roads and west of GANCHY
(536860) is considered unfordable under noraal conditions.
As of 14 January 1944 this valley, however, was reported
flooded to an average, depth of three feet when the enemy
constructed, a dam near ISIGNY (500355)
(2) Ridge System,
Two ridges run east-west across the area between River AURE
and the coast, .Joining in the vicinity of VIERVILEE (647912)
P08MIGNI (648367), they continue as one ridge to PORT-EN-
BESSIN (753878). Of these.the principal ridge runs parallel
to the coast about 2000 yards in the"interior and dominates
the AURE valley. Broken by very few corridors and sloping
rather evenly to the North arid South, its elevations vary
from 270 feet near C0LLEVILLE (6383) to 100 feet in the
western part. Between the AURE and the T0RT0NNE, the other
ridge -extends east-southeast froo TIcEVIERES for about six
miles, rising to a height of 200 feet. South of the River
AURE arc a series of finger-like ridges which run north-
south, broken on the north by its southern tributaries.
This series of ridges, beginning southeast of ISIGNY, rises
to 200 feet at LISON (5377) to 350 feet south of BAYNES (5974)
' and to 400 feet at the F0RET -DE CSRISY (6570), the latter
being the predominating terrain feature in this area.
(3) Routes of Gaai-unication.
The two ;.iain highways which cross the sector are the BAYEUX-
ISIGNI road (26"miles) and the fttfEUX - ST, U)(22 miles).
These roads, of standard tarmac construction, are from 18 to
,24 feet in width and are capable of carrying limited two-way
traffic. The secondary roads are narrow and usually flanked
by hedges or embanked fields. Since many are sunken, tsnsto*-
facod and one-way, deployment will be difficult, requiring
considerable work to render then useable and to maintain
.them, B/JEEUX (790795), TREVIEKES (643339), ISIGNY (500855)
and ST. LO (497632) are the most important road centers.
The coastal road from PORT-EN-BESSIN (753378)'to GRaNDCAMP-
LES-BAINS (543932) is narrow and winding for a distance of 14
miles, A fairly straight and lev^l road runs for 6 niles
from OLINDC/iMP-LES-BAINS to ISIGNY, at OSMJWILLE (575372)
joining the main road from CA3N to CHERBOURG which it- follows
for about a rale to ISIGNY. Because of the marshy land on
both sides of the road at the entry to ISIGNY where the road
crosses tho marshy valley of the River AURE, it is considered
impassable for it/T, Bridges throughout the aroa are generally
of masonry arch construction.. Railroads include a.double-
tack railroad connecting CARENTaN, BAYEUX end ST, LO, with a-
single-track extension to ISIGNY. The narrow-gauge railroad
shown on old naps as running from FOIaCT DE CERI.SY, - ,

, x > y^ ' 1 ( 4 ) ' Obstacles.
The inundated regions near (BANDCMF-L8S-BAINS, in the
lower AURE Valley, along the VIRE and the TAUTE, creatc
the aos.t critical obstacles, Lqw and marshy,- crossed by
numerous drainage ditches and either flooded or subject
to flooding, these areas are generally unsuitable for
cross-country aovement. The soil underlying these in­
undated areas is composed of soft clay and some saturated
peat, tending to retain water. The water's depth varies
from six inches to three feet. The coastal area north
of the ,iURIi River is difficult for vehicular and tank
movement, because of the heavy clay of tho soil. The
remainder of the area presents soil suitable for movement
by tanks and vehicles; but, the hedges and trees around
the fields increasing in density in the southern part
would prove a hindrance-. With the noteabls exception of
the FORST DE CP-KISY, southwest of BAYEUX, the woodlands
are riot sufficiently continuous to create serious ob­
stacles. Other obstacles in the area are the narrow roads,
sometimes sunken, and almost flanked by thick earth
fences, hedges, or embanked fields. Roads running
through the inundated areas are either completely under­
water or are so saturated as to be useless. With the ex­
ceptions previously mentioned,• streams are fordable and
fall outside this category of obstacles.
(5) Cover.
On the beach, cover and concealment are limited to the
seawall, the groynes and the cliffs, with no protection
from observation from the air. ' Between the beach and the
River AUKS, protection from ground observation is fur­
nished by the reverse slopes of the ridges and in the
valley between them (south of GRANBC/lMP). The scattered
timber here is neither large enough nor dense enough for
protection from aerial observation. South of the River
AURE, caver and-concealment is goodj while, between the
Rivers TiiE and TAUTE, the north half offers no cover and
little concealment, the south half comparatively better
in each respect.
(6) Fields of Fire.
For all types of weapons, the beaches offer excellent
fields of fire to the defender, but poor -to the attacker
• ' in the early stages of the advance. Inland fields of
fire, after crossing the AURE and upon approaching the
north-south valleys, are limited by observation. Small
arms and guns will be restricted here to short ranges.
Between the Rivers JIKE and TAUTE, all weapons are af­
forded excellent fields of fire.

e. Military Effect of Terrain.

(1) Difficulty in covering the winding corridors and narrow

draws loading from the beach by flat trajectory fire will
make infiltration by our forces to the rear of the pill­
boxes possible. The narrowness of available beach cor­
ridors facilitates enemy tank defense. The rapid rise of
terrain behind the beach furnishes to the enemy defiladed
positions and excellent observation for howitzer or mor­
tar fire. (For detailed study of the beaches, see Over­
lay No. 2)
(2) The following successive positions are open to the enemy:

(c) The AURB River - LA TORTCNKE line, the first ridges

(d) The LI,SON -BABIES - F0:fii<;T 'J)F CE'-.iISY ridge, which% domi­
nates the valleys to the north and provides a fairly
secure western fink with front and flanks unsuitable for
extensive tank attacks (For. more detailed study, soe

defender.
b» General Topography»
(1) Drainago Syston,
(a) The AURE River from TOURTEVILLE (6708U5) westward to
ISIGUY- is•in general subject to inundation. (See
Overlay No. ll The flooded area is now approximately
10 miles (E-Yi) by 1 5/6 nilos (N-B) in size. The
tops of hedges and the bant:.? of the numerous canals
in the area can bo seen through the water on aerial
photographs. (Sortie RB 126 (5 February 19hi+) photos
2070-2090). Prom (7U28UG) to (7U6853) the AU1LE has
an underground channel t_n feet beneath the- surface
of the ground. This area is probably narshy and
cannot be depended upon to support vehicles. The
river current is neg'ii able in the lowur reaches
and nowhere does it exceed the rate of three feet
per second. At some places the river is GO feet
•wide
| at ISIGilX it is 60 feetj at TRRVIEPwSS not nore
than 20 fe^t.
(b) Thc> VIItE River is definitely an obstacle in all
of cur area,' and separates the low-lying terrain south
of the' BAi'CS DU GrtMD VST and the base of the COTMTIN
frcci the rest of the areas to the East. Inundated
areas exist near ST. JEAIJ DjMIJE (See Overlay No. 1)
bat the rain N-S road is ab^ve the surface of the
water (Sortie KB 192(15 February I9I4&) photos: 1092-

(c) The CANAL DE VIRE ET TAUTE extends from (410819) to

(501757)# Inundated areas exist on both sides (See
Overlay No. l). The canal is 30-40 feet wide and the
depth is controlled by locks.
(d) There are only a few tributaries of tho VIRE and AURE
which arc greater than 20 feet in width. ThQS3 are
the SLIE, imm, T0RT0NNE and ESQliE. Some of the
canals next to these streams have been "widened to
30 feet.

(2) Ridge Systems.

The main ridges are shown on Overlay No. 1. The first
line of ridges behind the beaches cannot be termed
ridges in the true sense of the word} thoy are fundament­
ally termed plateaus some 200 feet in elevation and are
a characteristic rolling prairie type farmland. These,
however, and the second line of ridges (broken by the
Rivers ESQUE and TORTONNE) dominate the AUiiE Valley.
The third line, running generally NE from ST. XC to
BAYEUX, is the highest in the- area. In general all
ridges are composed of broken sandstone covered with
marl. Barts of the country have a clay bed beneath the
marl and consequently bad drainage results.
(3) Beaches

(a) The beaches to be used in the assault fall within the

the so-called "OMAHA" group. Specifically, the as­
sault area lies within the DOG, EASY, FOX and GEORGE
sectors and these are divided into the RED, WIITE and
GREEN or RED and GREEN beaches. For details see
Overlay No. 2. The entire beach is -approximately
7900 yards long and under the British world-wide
beach numbering system it is known as Beach 46.
(b) Beach 46, which runs from (700892) to (638926),is
7900 yards long, and from available photo evidence
is mined. The beach is of firm sand bolow HWL and
of coarse shingle above this line to tbe back of the
beach. Above HWL beach roadway expedients will be
necessary. Mean level of the water is 13 feet above
Admiral Chart Datum with a neap rise of 19 feet and spring
rise of 23 feet • There are shallow runnels and
an E to W tidal stream at a maximum. of 3 knots at
springs. Landing of LOT and smaller craft can begin
5 hours before HW and continue to about 5 hours after
HW. Since the gradients will not permit the craft to
approach close enough for vehicular wading, LST must
be dried out for Unloading. Between VIERVILLE-SUR-
MER (649916) and LE3 MOULIN (665906), and again be­
tween (667912) and (661909), a series of low pile-
type groynes extend at right angles to the sea wall.

(c) The distance from the back of the beach to HW

averages 25 yards. In the eastern portion of the
beach, its back (between (696894) and (673902)) is a
low grassy bank, 4 to 6 feet high, slope 1:4» A
rough stone seawall, 6 to lft feet high, slope 1:1,
runs between (673902) and (648917) backed by a prom­
enade road, 10-15 feet viide - From latest photo
coverage, this promenade road, appears to be col­
lapsed or sunken at (669I) to an indeterminable ex-
;t$ntJnorthwest thereof. (See: Sortie RB 338(3 March
l vsg; >hoto number 4097 »*no stereo pair). The
•T
 height of the wall at various 'sections is reduced
by drifting • sands. From (6.73902) to (696896), a
grasssjr- bank backs up the beach* Where sand drifts
run high, the wall and/or embankment ig- not visi-
, ble on fierial photographs, (For• pbbto coverage
of beach see generally; Sortie RB 201 (15 February
1944), photos 2160 to 2170j also Sortie RA 541
(30 June 1943), photos 0027 to 0057)* .
(d) The cliffs between VIEB.VILLE (649916) and P0INTE
DE LA FERCEE (635930), are not scalable without
apparatus, thereby reducing the effective length
of the beach to 5000 yards* The slightly concave- '
nature of the beach finds its terminal heights
commanding its entire length, with some hills im­
mediately behind the beach subjecting considerable
sections to observed fire,
(e) Beabhes. '
Initially, four exits can be made,off the beach,,
herein designated as t)I, B3-, El, and E3» They are 7
all up short narrow valleys and run from (648917)
to VTWILIE-SUR-MER (647912), (665906) to ST.
LAUKEMT-3.UR-MER (664897), (667901) to- near ST.
, LAURNET (671896), and from (688896) to C0LLEVILLE-
. SUR-MSR (687882), respectively. In general, al­
though the beach is narrow at HW, a narrow bench
runs parallel to the beach, between it and the
slopes thatfront on the sea. This berch will aid
in lateral traffic between beach exitb and roadways.

Exit Dl: At (649918), a triangular groyne has piled

' sand along the west, under the effect of westerly
" tidal> currents, until its effective height is re­
duced to about 4^feet, mailing possible an easy ap­
proach to the promenade by ramping* From aerial
photos, this approach, west of. tho groyne, measures
about 50 yards in width. A tarmac road, 15 feet
wide, runs to VIERVILLE, through a narrow valley, .
limiting deployment of M/T.

Exit D3: By ramping over the 'lovr seawall near the

valley's mouth, access to a small net of- roads which
lead'to a 15-foot tarmac road running to ST. LAURENT
is available. This exit is about 20 yards wide,
at the foot of which lies the village of LES M0ULINS
where- traffic is restricted to a track that may be ...
full of rubble. In addition to existing AT ditch,
350 feet long, southeast of this road, latest photo
evidence indicates the construction of an additional
AT ditch,. 230 feet long joining and forming an angle
southeast therewith. (See: Sortie RB 338 (3 March •
1944) photosj 4096 and 4097)*
• • ' ' ' ' '

Exit El: By building about 100 yards of roadway to

the road that parallels the beach, access can be had
to a rough 8 to 10-foot gravel road that runs up on
the west side of a narrow valley, across an open
field into the ST. LAUI'iKET road net# The available
access from the beach is about 10 yards wide. Ex-
- cept for some 200 yards on the road, as it climbs
over the valley rim, wheeled vehicles can negotiate
the exit off the road at will* •

and,winding exit which is adequate. The approach

from the- beach between the grass erl>ankment is
about 60 yards wide* About 100 yards of roadway
will bo necessary over the sand dune between the
beach and road; While wheeled vehicles will be
restricted to the road, tracked vehicles will be
able only to deploy between extensive shrubbery
along the road.

Overlay Mo, 3 f>r details). (Sortie RB 22 (5 Janu­
ary 1944) photos 1001-1026j 1119—113o)« It is to be
noted th t the main'railroad may be an obstacle at
some points due to embankments, and cuts. Assuming
a relatively, limited amount * of interference- with
rail transportation by the iiative workers and pop­
ulation,- it is probable that- detr ining of reinforce­
ments will be concentrated at stations on or near
the double track main line which runs south from ^
GLOS-JiONTFORT to CONCHES and then Vest via „RGENTAN
to GRiJWILlE. 'Those unloading'stations are about 50^

• (2.) Sub-Area B. Observation in this area is virtually non­

existent* • There is virtually no cover or concealment ex­
cept in"the built up area of ISIGNY where cover for the
defender is available to a limited extent. The inundated
areas are a serious obstacle. Infantry can cross them only
by boats and then with- difficulty since the tops of hedges
under water will restrict anything but very shallow draft
: 1 vessels. This, subarea is of great importance to the,de­
fender tod the crossings of the AURB at ISIGNY and THE-
VIERES because of the inundated area arereadily defenda'ole#
Communications are almost non-existant and dependent en-
- - , tirely upon the possession of the crossings at ISIGNY and
THEVIEHSS and the bridge across the VIKE West of,ISIGNY.

areas, however, numerous OPJs.are.*,possi"bleedue to the

" of fire become increasingly difficult to the South, al- r.
' though good fields of fire are available to the defender
on the min avenues of approach from I8IGNY and T3SEVIIERES,
the latter being the more difficult. Excellent conceal­
ment is possible in the wooded areas# Cover* is generally
poor as all routes of approach are fairly open. The River
.VIBE is a definite^obstacle.and favors the defender* Gross
. country Vehicular movement will be difficult because of
hedges, and. the FORET DE CEEISI ;is an obstacle to such
movement* Nortb-Soiath communications are greatly improved
over subarea A. The town of ST LO to a l*.rge extent con­
trols the communications in the area*•

d. Critical Terrain Features# For the purpose of this study

critical terrain features have been lettered on Overlay No* 1. They
are as^follows: • , ' ,

A. The beach is obviously a critical feature.

B. The high ground inimediately behirid the beach is essential' ^

' to both the attacker and defender# Its .possession during
' early phases.of the assault will be the determining factor
in the aaount. b£ difficulty in landing,

, C. This is the high ground overlooking ISIGNY. Any defense of

ISIGNY must be based on it and conversely an attack on ISIGNY
will necessitate its pre-capture# ,

D« ISIGNY is one of the most.important,features in the area. y

It is the key to joining forces with the VII Corps on the

e. Tactical Effect of the Terrain, ^

%

,(1) On the Eneiny, ' The general defense of the area has been
' strengthened .primarily bj the creation of the inundated '
•^ ' area, ' Aside from the co-;stline itself the terrain would
, not lend itself readily to defense had not this obstacle
been created. There are not any really good positions
inland for defense and'-fields - of fire are generally poor.
The area does not lend itself readily to reinforcement
because of the low-lying and inundated areas,. the River
VIRSj, the poor-communications1 and limited•room.for deploy-,
• ment, Since .the defense of the.'-/est is primarily based .
on holding the coastline and counter-attacking with mobile
(Panzer and Fanzer Grenadier) forces the terrain in this
area is a detriment to the enemy,

(2) On our Forces. The marshy and inundated nature of the area
-will- hamper our rapid movement inland and the bottleneck
of ISlGNY vd.ll make difficult the contact of VII Corps.
On the other hand, once crossings.- over the AURE and VIRE
are gained it v&ll be difficult for the'-enemy to recapture
" ground in the 29th Division sector. The numerous corridors
leading up to the'ridge lines will help the attacking force
The terrain does not favor rapid or mobile operations and
maintenance difficulties in the area will be pronounced
because of the poor communications,

OHSMIOAL WARFARE PLAN

1. G-ENSPiAL, . . /

a. GEW.AL POLICY;

(1) Reduced scales of equipment have "been specified on the

assumption the Germans will not initially use gas to resist an invasion
of the continent although -eurmlied and equipped to initiate toxic warfare
at any time on a major scale. "

(2) Ho toxio agent in any form will "be received, stored, or

emended "by any unit of this Division without specific authority of the
Division Commander to start the use of toxic warfare/

"b. RESPONSIBILITY;*- Unit commanders are responsible for the

state of gas discipline, and for the provision, use, and maintenance of
protective equipment. Toxic agents, especially the Mustard type, are
capable of causing a large number of minor casualties. These risks must
"be accented, for complete protection is impracticable. Commanders must
"be prepared to use their military and gas knowledge and their common
sense to hold these casualties to a minimum, -however.

c, PRECEDENCE OF DOTIBS: In case toxic agents are used against

this command, the ^es protection duty of gas officers and gas NCOs shall
take precedence over all other dutf.es.

d. TECHNICAL ffOMMUNI. CATIONS; Communications of a technical

nature pertaining to chemical wax-fare will "be made direct to Div Cml 0.
As necessary these reports will also go thru command or other technical
channels (for instance5 chemical intelligence would also go thru normal
channels to G~2)«

2. ORGANIZATION FOP, OAS DEFENSE

&c G-AS PERSOIff'ZiiL:. Each Hegt and 3n will have at all times a
minimum of one Unit G-as Officer and one Gas NC0S and each Co or similar
unit will have a minimum of two G-as NOOs, Decontamination details
selected in the field will "be under the supervision of unit gas personnel
or someone else trained in decontamination#

"b* G-AS SEPTIK3LS: As necessary

c. PROCEDURE; Each individual is responsible for personal

decontamination*. Units concerned are responsible for decontamination of
their own equipment and supplies.

3. IIJTSI.LI&-0HC3

a. COLLECTION: It is most important that all positive and

negative information which will give a clue to enemy gas intentions be
forwarded so as to forestall any large scale surprise use of gas against
this Div. Chemical intelligence will be derived as part of general combat
intelligence^, however, unit gas personnel are particularly charged with
seeking, collecting, and reporting items of chemical intelligence.
Page No. 2 RET' BIGOT

% ft 1 0kri H
ANNEX '*> '" '
to FO
^ wy M ^

b. REPORTING. Information will be forwarded thru both G-2 and

technical channels and will be exchanged between Unit Gas Officers and
S-2's at each echelon. Samples of equipment, supplies, and agents (see
par. c(2)> below) will be forwarded thru technical channels. ; •'

. c. SAMPLES DESIRED*

(1) EQUIPMENT and SUPPLIES. Initially each Inf Regt will

furnish to Div Cml 0, or report to him location of, a sample of all items
of German chemical equipment, supplies, weapons, and ammunition. There­
after, all units will furnish samples of new or different types or models
of above, as located,.

(2) AGENTS. For the first use or suspected use of gas, or

thereafter if a new agent is suspected, the following will apply:

(a) If persistent gas has been used,, secure a liberal

sample of contaminated earth, shell fragments,
clothing, or other contaminated material. Place
in a jar or other air-tight container, seal, label,
to show contents, date and place obtained, desig­
nation of units securing sample, and send to Div
(3ml 0.

(b) If non-persistent gas has been used, evidence will

be secured from the medical officers, gas officers,
and other qualified witnesses as to the effect on
personnel.

d. REPORT OF TOXIC ATTACK. With regard to any particular attack

the following information is desired:

(1) Units affected,

(2) Method of attack (Arty, planes, etc.)
(3) Agents or combination of agents used.
(4) Concentration (light or heavy).
(5) Location and extent of area affected.
(6) Date and time of attack.
(7) Description of local terrain of the area attacked.
(8) Routes available thru or around the area.
(9) Decontamination undertaken (terrain <- equipment)..
(10) Weather (-wind direction and velocity, precipitation).
(11) Casualties (number and type).
(12) Effect ct attack on unit (will they be able to carry out
mission?)
(13) State of gas discipline of unit attacked*
(14) Location of duds if new agent is suspected.
(15) Remarks and recommendations.

.(NOTE:. In few cases will all this information be avail­

able at once. Fragmentory reports desired).
