I don't work very fast. My method of working is to add a paragraph each day. The article will take shape slowly. Unfortunately, I do not have the same references as you on hand, but am making a start with the ones I do have. We can work around each other. I'm a little unsure about the American strategy: was it to create a breakthrough, or an advance to secure a start line for one? Hawkeye7 (discuss) 20:58, 5 June 2021 (UTC)
I think I'm starting to make progress on this. What made you want to write about this? The Americans don't seem very interested in it at all. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 21:57, 7 June 2021 (UTC)
Cherbourg fell on 27 June, as my 1999 Hastings states on p. 195. Cap de la Hague fell on 1 July. Could you check that Hastings 2006 p. 165 cite? I have made a few other tweaks for flow and will probably make more. Obviously shout about anything you are unhappy with. Gog the Mild ( talk) 20:41, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
Following the successful Allied invasion of Normandy on D-Day, 6 June 1944, progress inland was slow. [1] The original plan for the campaign envisioned that the British Second Army ( Lieutenant-General Miles Dempsey) in the east would secure Caen and the area south of it to acquire airfields and protect the left flank, [2] while the First US Army ( Lieutenant General Omar Bradley) in the west captured the deep water port of Cherbourg, and would then "wheel round" to the Loire valley. [3] [4]
Successive Anglo-Canadian offensives failed to take Caen, but they kept the best of the German forces in Normandy, including most of the armor, in this area. [5] With no ports in Allied hands, all reinforcements and supplies came over the beaches or via two artificial harbors. [6] On 19 June, a strong storm descended on the English Channel that lasted for three days and caused significant delays to the Allied build-up. [7] In the west, attacks to the south were halted by Bradley before the town of Saint-Lô in order to concentrate on the seizure of Cherbourg. [8] [9] Cherbourg fell on 27 June, [10] and organized German resistance in the northern Cotentin Peninsula ended on 1 July. [11]
I like it. Done. Gog the Mild ( talk) 22:43, 16 June 2021 (UTC)

"The main body of the 505th Parachute Infantry reached the northern and eastern slopes of Hill 131 by mid-morning, and they were captured for the loss of 4 paratroopers dead, 25 wounded and 5 missing; 146 prisoners were taken."
This sentence reads as if the 505th have been captured, which doesn't fit the context of the rest of the section. Do we need to clarify who "they" is referring to here? From Hill To Shore ( talk) 01:01, 11 March 2024 (UTC)
