Hitler's Normandy Directive

[Psycho Mike]

Found this on the net:
QUOTE:

In this directive, the German leader formally responded to concerns caused by the ominous buildup of forces in the British Isles. Hitler displayed here his tendency to issue detailed orders far below the strategic level, and he divided responsibility for military operations among the land, air, and naval commanders, who would answer not to a theatre commander but ultimately to himself. Such interference and rigid control contributed to the military debacle of the Normandy campaign in June-August 1944.
