Static German forces in Bavent are belived to be weak. Therefore, it is important to gain ground there, before stronger German Battle Groups arrive. Secondary objective: Expand control area around the Bavent Exit VL, and destroy enemy units. Allied BG's (fighting off the beaches) will need to secure the Pegaus Exit VL in Benouville ... which will provide a supply route to the Airborne sector. The general weather conditions worked out every day by naval meteorologists and passed on to us by [21st Panzer] Division, gave the 'all clear' for 5 and 6 June. So we did not anticipate any landings, for heavy seas, storms, and low flying clouds would make large scale operations at sea and in the air impossible for our opponents. ----Major Hans Von Luck, commander of Panzergrenadier Rgt 125, 21. Panzer Division
