Canuck_TAR Posted December 13, 2007 Author Share Posted December 13, 2007 - Operation Sledgehammer was an Allied contingency plan for a limited-objective cross-channel invasion of Europe in response to a German or Soviet collapse in 1942. It was to be used to reduce pressure on the Russians (in the case of a Soviet collapse), or to prevent the Soviet conquest of the whole of mainland Europe (in the case of a German collapse).

Scook Posted December 14, 2007 Share Posted December 14, 2007 I need to reread this one book, I was thinking Sledgehammer gave way to Overlord once the Stalingrad Fiasco happpened (or the tremendous victory in the Patriotic War). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
