    13 In the spring of 1942 the Operations Division had spurred the 
    establishment of the BOLERO Combined Committee to assist its new European 
    theater section with the deployment task; in mid-1943, when the decision to 
    undertake the cross-Channel invasion was fairly firm, OPD had arranged for 
    its reconstitution. Later in 1943 this committee was reconstituted as the 
    BOLERO-SICKLE Committee, for air as well as ground build-up in the United 
    Kingdom. See Cline, Washington Command Post, pp. 21t-t2.

    34 In Washington, the AAF concluded that the increased requirement for 
    fighter aircraft would have to be met essentially by the redistribution of 
    the fighter load among the available forces already scheduled for OVERLORD. SHAEF's request for additional fighter squadrons was turned down by 
    Washington. See msgs and papers filed with memo, Gen Hansell, AAF planner, 
    for Adm Bieri, Gen Roberts, and Capt Donald B. Duncan, USN, 12 Mar 44, sub:

    Among those present at the Marrakech meetings were Lord Beaverbrook, General 
    Wilson, Admiral John Cunningham, General Harold Alexander, General Devers, 
    and General Bedell Smith, In 1949 General Marshall recalled that he had had nothing to do with the 
    Anzio decision. He also recalled that General Eisenhower told him that he 
    was not in favor of the operation, but, knowing that he was to leave the 
    theater before the operation was carried out, did not oppose it. Interview, 
    Mathews, Lamson, and Hamilton with Marshall, 25 Jul 49, OCMH files. For 
    Eisenhower's views of the decision on Anzio see, Eisenhower, Crusade in Europe, pp.

    to Operation "ANVIL" and "OVERLORD." One unanticipated consequence of the Anzio assault was that the Germans were 
    relieved of some of their uncertainty over Allied intentions. After the landings, the German 
    fears of a Balkan invasion further diminished for they realized that the 
    Allies had their hands full in Italy and would probably refrain from any 
    move into the Balkans. Charles von Luttichau, Germany's Strategic Situation,

    69 The decision to launch an expanded OVERLORD 
    assault had resulted in the publication of a new outline plan-the NEPTUNE 
    Initial Joint Plan-published on 1 February 1944 by SHAEF. For subsequent 
    theater planning based on the NEPTUNE plans, see Harrison, Cross-Channel 
    Attack, pp. 173-97.   
     
    70 As a result of British concern over the scheduled withdrawal 
    of three U.S. long-range fighter groups from the Mediterranean for OVERLORD, 
    General Eisenhower and the Washington staff had agreed by early March to 
    transfer, in lieu thereof, three U.S. short-range fighter groups (less 
    aircraft) from the Mediterranean. In the United Kingdom these would be 
    re-equipped by diverting P-47's and P-51's previously allotted to the 
    Mediterranean. See: (1) msg, Prime Minister to Roosevelt, 16 Feb 44, No. 581, Paper 46, Item
