The Allies developed four plans for the Resistance to execute on D-Day and the following days:\r\n\r\nPlan Vert was a 15-day operation to sabotage the rail system.\r\nPlan Bleu dealt with destroying electrical facilities.\r\nPlan Tortue was a delaying operation aimed at the enemy forces that would potentially reinforce Axis forces at Normandy.\r\nPlan Violet dealt with cutting underground telephone and teleprinter cables.\r\n\r\nThe resistance was alerted to carry out these tasks by messages personnels transmitted by the BBC's French service from London. Several hundred of these messages, which might be snatches of poetry, quotations from literature, or random sentences, were regularly transmitted, masking the few that were actually significant. In the weeks preceding the landings, lists of messages and their meanings were distributed to resistance groups. (Wikipedia)","author_name":"WWII History","author_url":"http:\/\/wwarii.com\/","html":"
