RE: west front D-Day 1944

<t> Well, damage to the Pas de Calais area won't be felt for a long time in this scenario by which time it would have been repaired and reblown multiple times. It doesn't seem worth doing, but I might give it some consideration...<br/>

RE: west front D-Day 1944

<t> Chester Wilmott,s excellent book "The Struggle for Europe" has a map on page 210 showing rail centres badly damaged or destroyed.
