() Hitler had high hopes for the intelligence system controlled by Himmler, but in fact, the German intelligence system was already dilapidated by this time. Compared with the British intelligence system, which has a deep foundation, the American intelligence system, which has deep financial resources, and the persistence of

Adhering to the principle of "catch the wrong one and release the right one," compared with the Soviet intelligence system that had grown up in decades of blood and fire struggles, they were increasingly unable to do what they wanted.

But this is just a superficial phenomenon. The real and more fatal reason is that after several years of war, the ideals of the Nazis, or the ideals of the Fascists, have been shattered. Intelligence work requires the most self-sacrifice spirit. Don’t think that

Doing this is like in a Bond movie, with beauties and sports cars taking turns. This profession, as a certain leader said in a bad book, is stressful, has heavy rules, and requires a lot of sacrifice. If necessary, it is possible to do something for someone.

This purpose was ruthlessly sacrificed. Just like the "Lisa" who successfully changed the fuse for the artillery drive motor of the "Lindemann" fort. This person's performance is not outstanding, but her

The superiors would not hesitate to betray her to the Germans in order to deceive the enemy, and then kill the person who was ordered to betray her as a "traitor" in order to further win the trust of the Germans. Entering this profession is tantamount to

Entered the ghost realm.

And this profession requires high abilities from its participants. And if people with such abilities are motivated by selfishness, why would they engage in such a profession? With such abilities, why is the final result not better than being an agent? Just like

Guo Ruhuai in the battle between TG and KMT. He was born in Huangpu Military Academy and was highly regarded by Chang Kaishen. In addition to his ability

Outstanding, his official rank was Lieutenant General Operations Director of KMT National Defense Department. The information he provided played a considerable role in TG's defeat of KMT. However, after liberation, the treatment he received was no more than going to Nanjing.

He only serves as a teacher in the military academy. Therefore, most of the top agents in history are true idealists.

The British and Americans have the "defend you" banner, which can be used to attract idealists to fight for it; the Soviets have the "**" banner, which is "fight for the liberation of all mankind", which can also inspire people.

There are a large number of idealists, including a group of German idealists. For example, the famous Red Spy King Sorge is a German. This is especially true for the "Red Chorus" active in Germany.

At the beginning, the Nazis also had a banner with "nation and order" written on it, and they once fascinated many people. But as the war continued, the Nazis and the fascists were concerned about "higher races" and "orderly people".

The propaganda of "Life" was shattered by the facts. Also shattered was Germany's espionage capabilities. In the 1930s, the Nazis even had a large group of supporters in the United States, but now, those who were influenced by the Nazis

The boys are now fully committed to kicking Hitler's ass.

Some of the "spies" developed by the Nazis in the UK also had this problem. When they found out that they had been deceived by Nazi propaganda, some of them became angry and began to cooperate with MI6. They became

So-called double agents. Now, in order to obtain information about the "First American Army Group", the Germans issued instructions to these people, and the results are naturally predictable. Germany

The intelligence system began to receive some intelligence carefully prepared by the British one after another. Most of this intelligence was scattered, and many of the intelligence contained contradictions. But this was what was bound to happen with this kind of intelligence. After German intelligence

Through the hard work of the organization, the situation of the "First American Army Group" was gradually pieced together. The strength of this army made all German generals feel deep pressure.

Just as the Germans were feeling pressured by the fictitious "First American Army Group", the Allied forces' preparations were also proceeding in an orderly manner.

The 21st Attack Wing's attack efficiency on the beach is getting higher and higher as time goes by. Now, the PA-38s of the two squadrons have been able to steadily reduce the time from the landing of the artillery shell to the drop of the bomb to about 4 minutes.

, and the precision of the attack has been guaranteed to a certain extent. At least, it is unlikely that the bomb will fall into one's own queue.

Not only are the preparations for the 21st Attack Aircraft Wing proceeding steadily, but the work of other departments is also progressing smoothly.

Among all operations, landing operations are almost the most complex. They have to consider the most factors, such as tides, weather, landing sequence, and supply methods, all of which require careful preparation. Due to the terrain and

Hydrological restrictions, suitable landing locations

is quite limited, so don’t expect to find the so-called “enemy’s undefended areas”. When you land on the beach, you will definitely be violently attacked by the enemies hiding in the solid construction. What’s more terrible is that you

Those who climbed up in the first round were definitely light infantry without heavy weapons.

In addition, logistical supplies are also a big trouble. In previous landing operations in the United States, ships carrying certain supplies sank, causing the entire army to be short of some important supplies. So the Americans summed up various supplies.

Decentralized shipment is a method of ensuring that each ship that docks has all necessary supplies. However, this approach will undoubtedly increase the workload and complexity of logistics.

Hydrology is also a big problem. There are already reefs on some beaches in Normandy, and the Germans also used cement blocks to build a lot of artificial reefs. These things will seriously threaten the safety of the landing fleet. In order to deal with these things, the Allies

The military mobilized a large number of divers to approach the enemy coast in submarines at night. Through platooning, they basically found out the conditions of the reefs and artificial reefs. Bombs were also placed on some key reefs.

A large amount of landing-specific equipment was manufactured and sent to the UK. The 21st Attack Wing also received a new piece of equipment that surprised them - a ground attack command ship.

This is a ship of more than 3,000 tons. Its predecessor was a private cruise ship. After the war began, its owner donated the ship to the British Royal Navy. During the evacuation of Dunkirk, the speed of this ship was as high as 30

The cruise ship saved many soldiers during the festival. After that, the ship was once converted into a destroyer.

It is used for anti-submarine warfare. However, this ship is not suitable for operating in too high sea conditions, and the original civilian ship cannot bear high-intensity anti-submarine warfare tasks. If it should be used as a transport ship, the maintenance cost of this ship will be high.

It was outrageous. As a result, the Royal Navy, which had taken a breather, quickly put it into reserve.

During the drill to attack the beachhead, the command of the 21st Attack Aircraft Wing did expose a problem, that is, the problem of radio communication. This is how the radio instructions received by the attack aircraft of the 21st Attack Aircraft Wing came from.

. First stay on the cruiser

The conductor of the cruiser sends out the signal that the bombardment is over, and then the air combat command center issues the attack command. Considering the complex electromagnetic environment on the cruiser, and the navy itself has a large number of radio communication tasks, there will sometimes be obvious delays in the issuance of the attack signal.

.

Once the soldiers land on the beach, target guidance will be handed over to the walkie-talkie of the guide staying in the landing force. However, the walkie-talkie cannot directly communicate with the fighter planes, which also requires an intermediary. Those who are busy with fire support from the opposite shore

It is difficult for cruisers to undertake this task. Therefore, the 21st Attack Aircraft Wing urgently needs a command center close to the battlefield.

At first, Ron just wanted to find a destroyer to use among the US military warships. But then, I don’t know who it was, and suddenly remembered this British ship. If you think about it carefully, the tonnage of this ship is larger than that of a destroyer.
