    GERMAN COASTAL RADAR STATIONS
    WINSTON RAMSEY / JEAN PAUL PALLUD
    When German forces occupied the coastline of the English Channel in 1940, one of the measures undertaken to give early warning of attacks from the sea or air was to set up a line of radar stations. Although this invisible screen was a passive defense, it was a serious ‘barrier’ that had to be neutralized for the Allied invasion to be launched in 1944. Planners at RAF Medmenham ...

    OPERATION 'TORCH' NORTH AFRICA
    JEAN PAUL PALLUD
    When the western Allies decided to launch a second front in North Africa, they carefully considered the anti-British feeling left in France by the ill-advised attack by the Royal Navy on the French Fleet at Mers el Kébir in July 1940. Consequently, the operation was given an American rather than a British complexion, General Eisenhower was chosen to lead a mostly American force...
