Look at a map of Oz showing state boundaries. Follow the NSW/Qld border until you reach the coast. I'm 20km south of that. We are near the 28th parallel South. To put that in context, Marrakesh is on the 28th North and Paris is on the 49th. Miami is about the 26th. Sydney is 892 km further south, and Melbourne (38th) is a similar distance further south again. Cheers, Alan, Australia |

s.net, "Miss L. Toe" wrote: Central Bretagne had a fairly well developed resistance movement both the British and Americans parachuted in people to help organize the fighting period preparative to the Americans arriving. Americans arriving where ??? With Patton's break out in August of `45, part of the American army went south and swept into the Brittany and liberated it, the other part went East towards Paris. This closed off the German troops who in fact were told to hold the Atlantic ports anyway to prevent Allied use. The British and Americans prepared for this by sending in teams to help the resistance a couple of months before the arrival, including, some glider arrivals of jeeps. Few resistance campaigns in France are of military history interest but this one was and also the coordination of various groups in the Auvergne and the battle at Mont-Mouchet. It nearly ended in disaster but nothing matched the disaster at Vercors (late July 44) where 600 members of the resistance died due to a coordinated attack by 15,000 Germans with the loss of about 100 Germans. About 230 resistants were killed at Mont-Mouchet but most escaped. The coordination with the allied advance guards and French resistance was much better in Bretagne and militarily logical. |
