Command organization and preparations Under my overriding command and according to my general instructions, the commanders-in-chief will command the branches of the armed forces for which they are responsible.

There is no need 32 to look any further for rhe serious difficulties and the crises experienced during the Second World War by classical intelligence services, rhose agents nobody believed even when rhey brought forth extraordinary information.

A double movemenr started to take shape: Observation post on a channel island Observation post raised into a pyramid Tilting The rear solid mass of a firing control post Tilting Observation tower camouflaged as church belfry. The proof was flagrant: Iconoclasm, iconoclasm and fear. My vision appeared to be countered by that of my contemporaries, and the semi-religious character of the beach altars, left for children’s play, was counteracted by resentment.

Speed confirms everything rhat was initially contained in territorial reor- ganization, from ancient colonization to the era of the superhighway. In The Monolith he muses on the architectural ambiguity of the bunkers, comparable perhaps only to funeral monuments or border markers, and what the unique characteristics of these constructions said about the nature of modern war.

Ruined bunkers at once testify to the homogenization of space, embody historically-specific practices of warfare, and are ruined structures that invite conflict between political and affective understandings. The army will, moreover, lay down the methods by which the invasion is to be carried out and the individual forces to be employed, and will determine points of embarkation and disem- barkation in conjunction with the navy. The possible advantages of limited operations before the general crossing e.

For someone so preoccupied by concrete bunkers, he’s amazingly agile. There were several reasons for this, besides the size of the fortillcarion.

From such a distance there was no way of determining anything like foam movement. The German navy will regard the European littoral as the flanks of a ship and will install cannon batteries on the promontories to “lead the chase” on all naval objectives.

But this was still insufficient; he had to radicalize Germany’s mobilization itself.

Bur, on the other hand, rhere were also improvemenrs in anriaircrafr weapons. The weather was superb and the sky over the low ground was SCarting, minute by minute, to shine.

Pau, this empathy, we risk transforming the binaries of the past German and French, occupier and occupied, subjugator and subjugated into monstrous certainties that predetermine the present and future. The necessities of territorial dispersion increased the importance of communications but also highlighted their vulnerability.

It is time now to go further in the study of this confirmation brought. When the combat ceases. By the way, who invented Peace.

That was the end of his promotions, and the i of vice-dictator that he had proposed was out of his reach. The conquest of the French beaches was— from onwards, afrer ilu aborred attempt at landing in England— the sign of rhe defeat of the iVizi regime and rhe sudden turn toward rhe eastern front; the initiative christened “Barbarossa” was but a frantic flight from rhe deadly character of rhe ocean void, a way of refusing to see the obstacle, the unknown, like a frightened horse.

At the precise moment when the Offensive period ceases and the purely defensive phase of the European for- SS begins, the Germans are already at work on the “prospeenve” period.

All military and industrial materials of importance to the war effort will be inclu- ded within these strong points. Bur before analyzing the nature of this vriilio, let us look back: Slowed down in his physical activity but attentive, anxious over the catastrophic probabilities of his environment, the visitor in viriloi perilous place is beset with a singular heaviness; in fact he is already in the grips of that cadaveric rigidity from which the shelter was designed to protect him.
