- Atlantic_pockets abstract "During the final years of World War II, the Atlantic pockets were the final pockets of resistance of the Wehrmacht in occupied France. On 19 January 1944 Adolf Hitler declared fourteen places along the Atlantic Wall to be fortresses (festungen) to be held until the last man—the so-called Atlantikfestungen. Their purpose was to prevent the Allies from re-supplying their armies after the invasion of France and to secure the continued use of submarines in the Battle of the Atlantic. The last such pocket surrendered on 11 May 1945, three days after the capitulation of Germany.In his directive of 19 January 1944, Alfred Jodl established the Atlantic fortresses in four sectors:IJmuiden and Hoek van Holland in the sector of the forces occupying the NetherlandsDunkerque, Boulogne-sur-Mer and Le Havre in the sector of the 15th ArmyBrest, Cherbourg, Lorient, Saint-Malo and Saint-Nazaire in the sector of the 7th Army\"the north and south banks of the Gironde\", i.e. La Rochelle and Royan-Pointe de Grave, in the sector of the 1st ArmySubsequent to the Allied invasion on 6 June, Jodl issued further directives on 17 August and 4 September, specifying the need to defend Calais and Walcheren. Battle of Cherbourg (6–30 June)Battle for Brest (7 August–19 September)Liberation of Saint-Malo (14 August)Operation Astonia (10–12 September), Le HavreOperation Wellhit (17–22 September), Boulogne-sur-MerOperation Undergo (30 September), CalaisAfter the liberation of Brest on 19 September 1944, the Allies decided to lay siege to the remaining pockets and not to take them by force. Only Royan was subsequently assaulted, falling to French forces on 20 April 1945 during the siege of La Rochelle, which did not itself capitulate until 8 May. The remaining pockets were:Channel Islands (surrendered 9 May 1945)Dunkirk (besieged since 15 September, surrendered 9 May 1945)Lorient (besieged since 12 August, surrendered 10 May 1945)Saint-Nazaire (besieged since 27 August, surrendered 11 May 1945)".
