C’était une période riche d´ enseignements et d´experiences, que je pourrai utiliser dans le futur. J’ai choisi d´étudier la logisitque, dont la teneur, la complexité et l´influence ont été discutée. Avec cette thése, je voudrais montrer l´influence du logistique et sa nécéssité par l’analyse de l´operation Overlord, une grande manoeuvre de logistique. Les enseignements de cet évènement ont été utiles à des operations depuis, et j’espère que je pourrais faire profiter mon futur régiment des connaissances que j’en ai tiré. J´ai pu, tout au long de la rédaction de cette thèse, apprendre beaucoup, notamment grâce à l´aide d´un certain nombre de personne que je souhaite ici remercier. Pour commencer, je tiens à remercier mon directeur de thèse, le Lieutenant Colonel Lahaie, qui est un specialiste de la logistique et du debarquement en Normandie. Je voudrais également remercier le Centre de Recherche des Ecoles de Coëquidan pour m´avoir accueillie et donné accès à ses installations. Je souhaite remercier la Direction des Affaires Internationales et plus particulièrement le Capitaine Colautti pour son accueil, et l’aide qu’il m’a apportée. Je remercie le programme ERASMUS, et la cooperation entre la Suède et la France. J’espère que beaucoup d’étudiants seront capables de saisir cette opportunité au cours de leur vie. Mon entourage mérite aussi toute ma gratitude, ma professeur d’Anglais Mara Kreslina, mon supervisuer de mèthode Anders Palmgren et particulièrement Cadet Dan Lundquist plus ma famille qui a su supporter tout mes questions, mes pensées et pour tout ses commentaires avisés aprés après la correction des épreuves. Vous êtes mon meilleur soutient. Finalement je voudrais remercier la Promotion de Castelnau, et plus particulièrement la première section de la sixième compagnie qui nous a reçu, Victor et moi. Enfin, je tiens à remercier tous mes nouveaux amis, Français ou d’autres horizons, pour leur bonne humeur et leur soutient quotidien. Merci, pour ce moment exceptionnel. J’espère que nous nous reverrons bientôt aux Ecoles de Saint Cyr Coëtquidan ou sur des théâtres d’opération. Cd Carolin Fritzon Ecoles de Saint-Cyr Coëtquidan Bachelor’s thesis 2013-06-09 Cd Carolin Fritzson 3(70) Abstract The branch Logistics is often given lower priority during field exercises when combat units are supposed to be trained. In wars, conflicts and operations do the interest increase remarkably of being delivered ammunition, fuel and food. Without logistical support it is hard to advance on the scene, but is it even so hard that the lack of logistics can generate the own culmination? The purpose with this Bachelor’s thesis is to show the logistics importance during the planning and transaction phases for an operation. On June 6 1944, the Allied forces invaded Normandy, in order to defeat Hitler’s imperium and reach the end of the Second World War. The operation was called Overlord, and was both in the number of men and combat power, as well as, in a logistical manner an enormous achievement. In consideration of answering the research questions, the author has by literature studies analyzed operation Overlord and its impact on the culmination of the Second World War. Research questions: How does logistics affect the culminating point in warfare? What logistical maneuvers during Operation Overlord can be referred to reasons for the Second World War’s culmination point? The results manifests how the logistical maneuvers, like Mulberry Harbour, Red ball Express and PLUTO, caused a possibility to advance through Normandy, France and thereafter against Germany. Although that, it is hard to automatically say that innovations like these are the absolute reason for the culminating point. By using the factors in Mårtensson’s model, that is increasing or decreasing the speed towards the culmination, the analysis shows that logistics has a huge impact on the outcome.

Introduction 1.1. Background “You will not find it difficult to prove that battles, campaigns, and even wars have been won or lost primarily because of logistics.”1 – DWIGHT EISENHOWER In modern time the Second World War is the hugest war concerning combatants, casualties, involved nations, logistical planning and operations. Although all the soldiers in the combat units deserve earnest admiration and gratitude, it is easy to forget the other 80% of the Allied forces who served as logisticians during the invasion of Europe 1944. In the first half of 1942, the planning of a cross-channel attack evolved, in order to reach the culminating point of the Second World War and the end of the expanding Third Reich (see Map D).2 But how were the Allies supposed to maintain the secret of an attack that both was numerously gigantic and had been prepared by whole communities? On D-Day, 6th of June 1944, the Germans were surprised by an enormous armada north the Normandy coast. This view during dawn became the start of the invasion of Europe and in the long-term the end of the war. The answer to the previous question might be – by logistics. For example, what about… …the 1,5 million troops that had mobilized in England. They all had to

  • The Quandary of Allied Logistics from D-Day to the Rhine
    THE QUANDARY OF ALLIED LOGISTICS FROM D-DAY TO THE RHINE By Parker Andrew Roberson November, 2018 Director: Dr. Wade G. Dudley Program in American History, Department of History This thesis analyzes the Allied campaign in Europe from the D-Day landings to the crossing of the Rhine to argue that, had American and British forces given the port of Antwerp priority over Operation Market Garden, the war may have ended sooner. This study analyzes the logistical system and the strategic decisions of the Allied forces in order to explore the possibility of a shortened European campaign. Three overall ideas are covered: logistics and the broad-front strategy, the importance of ports to military campaigns, and the consequences of the decisions of the Allied commanders at Antwerp. The analysis of these points will enforce the theory that, had Antwerp been given priority, the war in Europe may have ended sooner.

When war first broke out I was at school. I was at the local grammar school and I was swatting for my school certificate which I - and we were evacuated from Manchester to Lytham St Annes on the Fylde coast and when we - after we spent about six months in billets in Lytham, realised that there wasn’t going to be the expected Blitzkrieg of all the cities at that time, so gradually the schools went back to where they’d come from. And so we continued to study for our school certificates and then the air raid started in the evening.

  • World War II Where to Go and What Happened
    World War II Where to go and what happened A brief summary of the Historical sites of the World War II conflict in northern France. Written specifically to assist school groups travelling to Normandy. www.nstgroup.co.uk World War II—Normandy World War II—Normandy Chapter 1 1—Introduction - Introduction This guide is designed primarily as a planning resource for staff, whilst NST holds the copyright feel free to photocopy and issue the maps and information sheets as you think appropriate. The guide is intended to be a brief guide to some of the events of D-Day and the Battle for Normandy and locations where you are likely to visit. It is not a complete gazetteer of all sites available (see "selection" below) and many well known and dozens of lesser known sites are omitted. If you wish to make visits other than those listed, it is hoped that the bibliography provided will be of use. It does not provide an exact itinerary, but rather gives you information on a number of sites from which to make your own selection. This is partly because the area covered by the Battle of Normandy is huge, the beaches alone stretching for some fifty miles, and the visits that you choose will partly be dictated by the location of your accom- modation and by-your point of entry/exit to and from the region. There is a slight bias In favour of the eastern/British sector because this is where most groups tend to stay, but the guide covers sites throughout the area.

    2021 - A YEAR FOR MAJOR WORKS Great achievements and grand projects Attracting visitors from all around the world, Bayeux Bessin – D-Day Normandie is a top holiday destination where great projects thrive. 2021 promises to be a remarkable year in that respect, with the launch of four major building programmes and the completion of two much awaited projects… 1. The battery of Longues-sur-Mer : new facilities for a quality visitor experience Featured in the famous American movie « the Longest Day », this German coastal fortification, which formed a part of the Atlantic Wall is the only gun battery listed as a historical monument in the D-Day sector. The site is quite remarkable due to its remarkable state of conservation and the fact that the original guns are still in situ. Located between the landing beaches of Omaha and Gold, the battery has become one of the top D-Day sites, attracting some 500 000 visitors each year! This increase in notoriety called for the creation of more appropriate facilities, including a new visitor centre, a landscaped parking area and an interpretation circuit. The first construction phase will begin in spring 2021 and is due to last a year and a bit. The German battery will remain open to the public throughout.

The blow will be struck by the combined sea, land and air forces of the Allies-together constituting one great Allied team, under the supreme command of General Eisenhower. 2. On the eve of this great adventure I send my best wishes to every soldier in the Allied team. To us is given the honour of striking a blow for freedom which will live in history; and in the better days that lie ahead men will speak with pride of our doings. We have a great and a righteous cause. Let us pray that “ The Lord Mighty in Battle “ will go forth with our armies, and that His special providence will aid us in the struggle. 3. I want every soldier to know that I have complete confidence in the successful outcome of the operations that we are now about to begin. With stout hearts, and with enthusiasm for the contest, let us go forward to victory. 4. And, as we enter the battle, let us recall the words of a famous soldier spoken many years ago:- “He either fears his fate too much, Or his deserts are small, Who dare not put it to the touch, To win or lose it all.” 5.

  • PRESS RELEASE Presentation of the Whale to IWM Duxford
    Saturday 9 April 2016 IWM Duxford receives a rare piece of D-Day history Today, Saturday 9 April, IWM Duxford celebrated the donation of the Whale, a floating roadway section from Mulberry Harbour B, which was crucial to the success of the Allies in breaking out from the beaches of Normandy following D-Day. It is the only object of its type in the UK and a direct tangible connection with a pivotal moment in world history. The Whale was generously donated by Les Amis du Pont Bailey and made possible with support from the family of Major Allan Beckett, the wartime designer of the Whale. In attendance at the event were members of Les Amis du Pont Bailey, who saved the Whale from dereliction in Normandy and arranged for it to be transported to the UK and conserved for display at IWM Duxford. Christopher Long of Les Amis du Pont Bailey said “I feel proud of England and of Imperial War Museums in particular. It has taken me eight years to save this bridge and in the end the museum pretty much did my job for me.” Also present was Mrs Ida Beckett whose husband, Major Allan Beckett, designed the Whale during the Second World War. Mrs Beckett said “I feel very proud of my husband’s achievements. He was such a modest man, I think he’d think it was a lot of fuss about nothing! I think it’s wonderful, it is a reminder to us all of such an engineering feat. It was quite remarkable.” James Taylor, Assistant Director of Narrative and Content, Imperial War Museums, said: “Whales were floating roadways that were integral to the Mulberry harbours built immediately after the Allied landings in Normandy on 6 June 1944.
