The ‘Transportation Plan’: Preparing for the Normandy invasion
A French locomotive knocked off the tracks at a French rail center after an aerial attack. During the conduct of the Transportation Plan, Allied planners discovered that the German authorities could relatively replace destroyed and damaged freight cars by transferring freight cars from Germany and further east to France. However, destroyed or heavily damaged locomotives were not as easily replaced as the freight cars. (USAAF archival photo)
