    Page 1 of 120 Forsvarets høgskole våren 2013 Masteroppgave Intelligence in Support of Military Operations What Was the Role of US Military Intelligence in the Falaise Pocket Battle August 1944? Trygve Smidt Page 2 of 120 Page 3 of 120 1 Introduction From my own experience and study of military history, understanding what is really going on as well as the opportunities and threats, i.e. situational awareness, is crucial for sound decision making in battles, operations and campaigns. It seems this is universal and timeless although the internal weighting among the detailed factors will vary among these levels. Intelligence has been described as a key tool to building situational awareness in ancient manuscripts from Zun Tsu, until today’s doctrines. To understand bygone battles and campaigns, and especially to build knowledge about the dilemmas of command and control, it is important to consider what information was available to the commanders. Although one has to understand that intelligence is one of several factors to consider, any study of military operations1 without considering intelligence will miss a crucial aspect of the whole picture. Numerous military units are mentioned in this study. To be able to distinguish nationalities and levels of command they are referred to differently, see Appendix H – Unit reference Formats The US organized their staffs after the French “G-system” from Brigade up to Army Group and SHAEF. For those not familiar with this organization and their functional responsibilities, see Appendix A - US Organization of Army Group Staffs and Army Staffs. 1 I will use “operations”, to include battles and campaigns, throughout the introduction.

  • Juno Beach Landing Tables
    Operation Overlord/Neptune Force 'J' - Juno Beach They were Waiting - German Defences The Germans used millions of slave labourers during four years of occupation to construct the 'Atlantic Wall' - a modern fortification system along the coast of France. The fortifications consisted of a series of reinforced concrete gun emplacements supported by well protected infantry strong-points and heavy machine gun nests overlooking the beaches. These were surrounded by trenches with mortars and machine guns. The beaches were strewn with obstacles and mines. Tetrahedral obstacles - three iron bars intersecting at rights angles had been constructed on the beaches. Fields of barbed wire and mines covered the land past the beaches. Also the seafront houses provided excellent observation and firing positions for snipers. There were 32 static Infantry Divisions of widely varying quality defending these fortifications along the French and Dutch coast. This first line of defence was backed up by Panzer Divisions (Armoured and Motorized Divisions) positioned inland from the Atlantic wall. The strategy was, if the Atlantic wall were breached, theses elite formations of crack mobile troops would strike as soon as possible after the landing and throw the Canadians and the Allies back into the sea. Within striking distance of the coast were five first-class divisions: the 21st Panzer Division with an estimated 350 tanks, the 12th SS Division with 150 tanks, the Panzer Lehr Division in the Le Mans area and two more tank divisions in the Seine. The proximity of 12th SS and 21st Panzer Divisions made it difficult for the British and Canadians to capture their objectives of Caen on D-Day.

    Brave New Visions is part of the year-long Insiders/Outsiders Festival marking the eightieth anniversary of the outbreak of World War Two. The festival pays tribute to the indelible contribution of the artists, pho- tographers, writers, architects, designers, actors, film-makers, dancers and musicians, as well as art historians, collectors, dealers and publishers who, in fleeing Nazi Europe in the 1930s and 1940s, so greatly enriched British culture. ‘This is an important and timely initiative, one that should help us to better understand the realities of life as a refugee – then and now – and the remarkable contributions to be made by Britain’s more recent arrivals.’ Philippe Sands QC, Insiders / Outsiders Festival Patron ‘The extraordinary generation of artists, writers and designers who found sanctuary in Britain from the Nazi regime brought ideas and skills and talent. But they also brought a breadth of possibilities: their practices crossed borders. There could not be a better time to celebrate them and to recognise what wealth we gain from those we welcome here.’ Edmund de Waal OBE, Insiders / Outsiders Festival Patron ‘The arrival of two generations of refugees from Nazi Europe, amongst them artists, art historians, publishers and dealers, transformed British society and the British art world. They brought direct experience of a more cosmopolitan world in which the arts played a central role in everyday life and firsthand engagement with some of the most exciting developments of the European avant-garde. Their presence totally changed the intellectual climate in Britain and paved the way for a much more dynamic art world in the post-war period.’ Sir Nicholas Serota CH, Insiders / Outsiders Festival Patron 17 July - 9 August 2019 Sotheby’s, St.
