ADDENDUM: Additional light is thrown on the events of 12/13 June 1944 by Cabinet Office E.D.S. Document M.I. 14/843 (v), which had not been studied when Chapter 24 was written. Especially from pp. 192-4 and 195-6 it appears that the co-operation of the long-range guns was planned, and that the circumstances in which orders were given for the opening of the offensive on the 12th deserve further study.
