COMMUNIQUE NO. 51
1 July 1944
Allied troops are strengthening their positions on both banks
of the ODON River. All enemy attempts to break in were frustrated
in the CAEN-EVRECY sector.
There is nothing to report on the rest of the front.
Enemy supply lines to the immediate battle area were constantly
under attack by our aircraft yesterday. Further afield focal
communication points where enemy troops were on the move, at CHARTRES,
DREUX, ALENCON, LAIGLE, and ARGENTAN, were also bombed.
There were scattered encounters with enemy fighters throughout
the day.
Five airfields in France and Belgium were targets for some
of our heavy day bombers while others attacked armoured [armored] vehicles
around VILLERS BOCAGE. Last night our heavies bombed the rail c
centers at VIERZON, south of ORLEANS. Sixteen heavy bombers are
missing from these operations.
