Find a weakness in the German defensive lines and exploit it. By exploiting it, I mean punch a hole in the line. Then they were to contact the next wave and the next wave was to come and drive the Germans away from the area the first wave was able to open up. This created a firm beachhead, upon which the tanks and such could be off-loaded.
