Planning D-Day

Planning D-Day: Operation OVERLORD and other plans.

Planning for the invasion of Europe started in the dark days of 1940, and did not stop until the day of the landing on 6 June 1944.

This official report gives much detail of the main plan and the various sidelines and other distractions that appeared between 1940 and 1944 and also covers the raiding policy before the main event, in particular the Dieppe operation. There are also details of the Mulberry project, COSSAC and the conferences which lead finally to the successful Operation OVERLORD.

Highly recommended as it puts the whole planning stage of the operation into context and allows the reader to observe the effects of Dieppe and the Mediterranean landings of 1943.
