Abstract: Abstract All Allied ground troops in the 21st Army Group were under Montgomery’s direct command with the American 1st Army under Bradley and the Anglo-Canadians under Lt General Dempsey’s British 2nd Army On the eastern side Crocker commanded the 1st Corps composed of the British at Sword (British 3rd Division) and the Canadian 3rd Division at Juno, while Bucknall (later to be fired by Montgomery) led the British 30th Corps on to Gold (British 50th Division). This was a 25 mile sector of relatively flat land (except between Port en Bessin and Arromanches on Gold), defended by the German 716th Infantry Division in the east and the German 352nd Infantry Division in the west.
