7 July 1944 Part 1 Routine reconnaissance around the islands

In the Channel Islands area and off the north coast of Brittany, the enemy continued the usual naval and aerial reconnaissance and supply flights for resistance fighters. Enemy fighter-bombers attacked road traffic particularly in the Dinan–Lamballe and Saint-Brieuc–Morlaix areas. The 275th Infantry Division was withdrawn from coastal defence. Otherwise no special events were recorded in the Army area.
