The German plan, therefore, was to eliminate within those sixty minutes as many anti-aircraft positions and individual cupolas and casemates as was possible, and at all costs to put out of action the long-range artillery pieces which covered the three bridges.
Den tyske plan gik derfor ud på indenfor disse 60 minutter at fjerne så mange anti-luftskyts stillinger og individuelle kupler og kasematter som muligt, og for enhver pris ødelægge de langtrækkende kanoner, som dækkede broerne.
