The Dragoon landings in August 1944 were preceded by bombing and sabotage that damaged German communications, railroads and bridges across southern France. This account explains how the Nineteenth Army sacrificed divisions to enable its retreat up the Rhone Valley in a race for the Belfort Gap before the advancing Allies could cut it off.
