Invasion Plan Captured First Day Report
The German capture of a Normandy invasion plan on day one altered the course of the war. General Laurence R. Huebner noted that had the paper been recognized its value, the entire war might have shifted. He described the document’s misrouting and the Allies losing a critical advantage as German forces gained a foothold on the French coast. Officers who participated in winter maneuvers in Germany discussed speed in combat and announced spring figures for events near the Rhine.
