Supply’s For The Front
Despite this, it would be a long time before the allies could declare complete victory and the liberation of Pairs. It was estimated that thousands of tons of supplies such as food, ammunition, and medical supplies would be delivered to the beaches of Normandy, as well as an unending supply of tanks and armored vehicles.
Coming Fast
The timely delivery of supplies would prove critical as word of the successful battle spread through the streets of Paris, signaling the beginning of the French uprising against the German occupiers of the country. Resistance forces in France began fighting against the Germans and barricaded themselves in anticipation of the arrival of allied forces to assist them.
