Control Of Sea Lanes Big Help In Invasion
Annapolis June 7 Navy Secretary Forrestal told the 104th graduating class of the U S Naval Academy that control of Atlantic sea lanes by American and British navies over the past two and a half years made the invasion of Europe possible. He cited convoys of 7 400 vessels since Jan 1 1942 with only 10 losses, none of them troop transports, and stressed a balanced fleet using air power and coordinated surface ships and aircraft as key to victory. He warned against relaxing the pressure against Japan and Germany, noting the need for continued decisive action.

Allies Pour More Troops On Beachhead
Thousands of Allied planes swept the coast as the communique reported over 13000 sorties flown by dawn. German forces fought on a broad front with reports of new landings north of Le Havre while SHAEF kept exact invasion details secret. American and British troops held a 50 mile coastal arc and pushed inland up to 12 miles in places as air and airborne forces reinforced Tuesday’s assault. The German Navy was largely absent though the Luftwaffe intensified strikes and high command remained unsure of Allied intentions.
