OTHER EVENTS on this date: OPERATION DRAGOON begins at 0415 hours as British and American paratroops are deployed near Le Muy, France. The invasion is carried out mainly by 7th US Army and Free French forces under the command of General Alexander Patch. They are up against the German 19th Army under the command of Lt. Gen. Friedrich Wiese. The naval bombardment immediately preceding the invasion causes great confusion among the Germans and resistance is light. The main objective of the invasion is the capture of the port city of Marseilles. Thereafter force will proceed up the Rhone River valley to Lyon also spreading east towards the Italian border. Once Lyon is captured, the forces will continue North up the Saone River to Dijon. Long range objective is to link up with Patton's 3rd Army to cut off German forces remaining in Western France.
