Operation Dragoon - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Interesting to note the supply issue and then the major part palyed by the port of Marseilles. The engineers would have been busy!
The Luftwaffe angle: odframe It was actually scheduled earlier but postponed: http://www.eisenhower.archives.gov/dl/DDay/006Dec_1943_April_1944OverlordAnvilPapersNo2.pdf Nice overview here: Operation Anvil/Dragoon I haven't had time to read everything (thanks to Kyt for these links) but thought this overlooked landing/s might be of interest.
