The ground actions, in spite of
bad weather, were supported by
hundreds of Allied planes, which

the Nancy area where strong en-
envy counterattacks were repuls-
ed.
The first contact with the en-
circled airborne force was made
under the cover of darkness. De-
tails of the river crossing were
few, but it was known that the
Poles brought at least a message
