No, the Russian had an eastern front fighting the Germans.............
Yes, they did not anticipate where the invasion would take place, not enough land was covered by their troops. They also thought that Dday would be postponed due to weather.
Hitler had invaded France, so we fought over the control of France from Hitler. DDAY was a landing on a French beach. When the allies came into an area the French people were liberated from the German occupation.
For Skirmish Dday you have to call. I assume it is the same for Oklahoma and other big dday games also.

how many tanks were there durind dday
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.
About 3000 people died on Dday.
DDay was one of the biggest attacks in the war. It had mostly Americans fighting the japs but some Germans and soviets. It's lasted For days, weeks.and within the first 30 of it 150,000 people Lie dead In the water and 200,000 and more wounded. Many soldiers were ranked up because there sergeants or whoever got shot. It was a very important battle it the war. It weaked the japs and Germans a lot!
Considering that he was commander of DDay forces in WW2, president of the United States for 2 terms, held off the Russians in the cold war, made the agreement to get the United States involved in Vietnam, produced three balanced budgets, and then his death in 1969. I would value his autograph at around £900+ to someone who is desperate for it.
D-Day was the Allied invasion of German occupied France, on the beaches of Normandy on 6 june,1944.
