EUROPE INVADED!
Allies Land
in Normandy, France
LONDON—Yesterday
morning, Supreme Headquarters of the Allied Expeditionary Force in Europe issued
this communiqué: “Under the command of General Eisenhower, Allied naval forces,
supported by strong air forces, began landing Allied armies this morning on the
northern coast of France.” Berlin first
announced the landings at about six-thirty a.m. Berlin time Tuesday, about
twelve-thirty a.m. U.S. eastern war time. Allied command initially did not
state the exact location of the invasion, but reports from Berlin were of paratroopers
dropped in Normandy; Allied command has since confirmed the location. Reports today
are that Allied forces have advanced as many as thirteen miles inland. Allied
command states the first invasion phase is complete.
