It's now eight o'clock in the morning in Great Britain, the time for one of the regular news broadcast of the British Broadcasting Corporation. I'm not sure whether the eight o'clock news in London has started at the moment, but let's switch over to London now and see whether the eight o'clock news has begun.

The case of Normandy in coordination with our Great Airborne landing. At points our troops have advanced several miles in land, and tanks have been reported to be moving on the town of Kern 10 miles from the coast where fighting was the 40 earlier. When DBT reporter Frank Gillard came through from gentleman dummaries headquarters, there was no report of the violent reaction

that is to be expected when field marshal fund was set, pensions rate to 30 against our operational area. It's early yet to get any firm assessment of the general situation over on the French coast.

But our reporter says there was not a fair of confidence that General Montgomery's head photo, fully justified by the news, flashback from our troops so far. One of the things everyone wants to know about is how our airborne forces are standing.

There's no hard news yet about their parts, but at least it's known that the operation of landing them, the biggest airborne expedition in history, was most successful. Another satisfactory thing about this outstanding operation is that our losses in planes are very small, considerably below what was expected.

The original landing took place in the bay that such as from the South War area, except of Normandy, to La Hava in the east, and we seem to have achieved a certain amount of practical surprise.
