European fishers told to stay in
SHAEF, England (AP) –
While fighting raged at Cherbourg, Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower made clear to the Germans today that they could not pay attention alone to the defense of that port.
In a radio warning, the Allied commander-in-chief told the fishermen of Denmark, Norway, Holland, Belgium and France to stay in port until 9:00 p.m. June 20. This was the second seven-day extension of the original Supreme Command warning to fishermen.

Allied advance command post (AP) – (June 21, delayed)
More than one-fourth of all the German robot plane launching installations are located in the area of Cherbourg, the great Normandy port on which the Allied armies are closing, it was revealed today at Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower’s advance headquarters.
Correspondents here were informed officially that experts are accompanying U.S. assault troops toward the city for the purpose of studying the installations and obtaining information of possible value in eliminating the German weapon.
The other three-quarters of the German robot launchers are in the Pas-de-Calais region, it was said.
