D-Day was designed to be the last push on germany. D Day was the first step in taking the war back to Hitlers Europe. At that time the Russians were pressing in the East and were taking most of the casualties in the war. Italy had been invaded by the Allies but a new front was required. Dday was the day on which (at that time) the greatest sea armada ever known was lauched against the Normandy coast. The invasion area was set into five beaches. Despite what Hollywood says it was not a solely US affair. The Americans had two of the areas, the British had two and the Canadians had one.
on the 6/6/1944 the greatest beach landing in the history of warfare occured on a few beaches like ''gold'' and ''sword''. but the biggest kill zone was in ohama beach. 3 hours of blood lust, more than 5,000 deaths for 200m of ground.
