Western Front6th ARMY GROUPThe 6th Army Group becomes operational at 0001 and assumes control of the AFHQ forces that are in France. At the same time, operational control of the 6th Army Group and its elements pass from AFHQ to SHAEF, a move previously agreed upon between Gen Eisenhower and Gen Wilson. French Army B acquires autonomy and is on a par with the US 7th Army. French Army B regroups during the next few days for the drive eastward. |
