Foreign Military Experts Say Full-Scale Invasion Can Be Made
BERN, Switzerland, Aug. 22. -
Foreign military specialists expressed the belief today that the Allied landing and raid on the Dieppe coast proved that a second front could be opened in France.
Essential to its success, these sources said, would be a sufficient superiority of land based planes, adequate transport facilities and a strong element of surprise.
Published neutral descriptions of the recently completed German system of channel fortifications indicated a full-scale Allied invasion effort would cost heavily, but would have a chance of advancing to the Meuse and Rhine provided the defenders could be outweighed in men and materials.
