Yep, or parachuting in for German target practice, or gliding in on wooden planes designed to break up on landing, or being in a floating tank being dumped in the sea just off the coast.
Indeed, apparently this was an Eisenhower message and he prepared a transcript of a follow up message if we failed.
Here's what it says:
"Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time...
Unfortunately not, there is a problem with this on NSC.
If you go to Go Advanced and uploaded it as an image it may work. Someone else may advise better on this though.
Possibly as well. From a documentary I have watched if my memory serves me correctly we set up dummy runways and planes in Kent to fool the Germans that we were going via the shortest route and try and land at Calais.
Shame the attachment isn't working for me. I watched a program about dummy projects to throw the Germans and this was one of them. I liked the dummy & planes runways we set up as well. Fascinating stuff.
