The article presents information about Battle of Germany, during the Second World War. On June 20, 1944, two weeks after the invasion of Normandy began, the German commander-in-chief, Marshal Rundstedt, sent some lengthy instructions to his divisions. The Allies, the Marshal declared, had attained such a degree of air superiority that railroads from 150 to 180 miles behind the front were paralyzed. Even the great highways within this radius, he said, under the new conditions were highly unreliable for supply transportation and troop movements.
