Rommel Aide Praises Allied Tactics After Normandy Breakthrough
In Wiesbaden on June 20 a German general, Fritz Bayerlein, told Allied interrogators that increased tactical air assault and focused bombing on industry and communications were decisive to ending the war. He said strikes on troop concentrations were rare and would have hastened Allied operations if intensified. He noted strafing irritated ground troops, but bombing offered better, more precise results. He described coordination between fighter-bombers and bombers as superb, with Allied air power delaying German troop movements and complicating German command decisions near the Normandy front.
