What vehicles were used on d-day?

thunderbolt fighters, P51 fighters. B17 bombers and B25 Mitchell Bombers. Also, C47 cargo aircrafts to drop airborne troops. A follow up was made by Gliders with additional troops ---------------------------- I assume you are asking about those used by the Allies. C-46's were not used on D-Day. In addition to the ones listed above, the following aircraft took action as well: Hawker Typhoon Short Stirlings (Glider Tug) Bristol Beaufighter De Havilland Mosquito Supermarine Spitfire Hawker Tempest Handley Page Halifax (Glider Tug & Bomber) Armstrong Whitworth Albemarle (Glider Tug) Grumman Hellcats (British Carrier) Grumman Wildcats (British Carrier) Grumman Avenger (British Carrier) Fairey Swordfish Vickers-Armstrongs Wellington (Coastal Command) Lockheed P-38 Lightening Boeing B-24 Liberator Hawker Hurricane Martin B-26 Marauder Avro Lancaster Douglas A-20 Havoc Douglas A-26 Invader Northrop P-61 Black Widow Waco Glider Airspeed Horsa Glider General Aircraft Hamilcar Glider There were also a number of other types that flew in support but did not directly participate, such as those flown by Coastal Command and various Liaison aircraft.


Who was the leader of the Angles and Saxons tribe?

I presume you mean the Anglo-Saxons and therefore your question relates to the Kingdom of England, as it was then called, in 1066. The King of England in 1066 was King Edward the Confessorwho ruled for a few days at the start of the year (he had been on the throne since 1042) and died on January 5th. When he died his natural heir, his nephew called Ædgar Ætheling, was considered too young to succeed his uncle (he was about fourteen), so the Witan (the council which advised the king) elected the strongest lord to be king of England. This was Harold Godwinson who was the Earl of Wessex who became King Harold II. Harold II was killed at the Battle of Hastings on 14 October 1066. Following his death the Witan met again and chose the young Ædgar Ætheling to be king. King Ædgar II ruled as king until the 10 December 1066 when he formally submitted to William, Duke of Normandy (known later as William the Conquerer). William then became King William I of England for the remainder of the year. He died in 1087 and was succeeded by his son, William II. Therefore there were four kings of England in 1066, three of whom were Anglo-Saxon. If you mean leader of the Saxons in Germany then the Duke of Saxony (a part of northern Germany) in 1066 was Duke Ordulf Billung.


Did the Anglo Saxons mix with the britons and other Celtic tribes?

The Adventus Saxonum is recorded in the Anglo Saxon Chronicles and the record states that far from mixing with the Romanized Brythonic stock, they followed the custom of the Germanic raiders of that time by pushing out all existing tribes before them by force.Where pitched battles were fought they were ruthless in their thoroughness in displacing the existing population.DNA studies shown a characteristically abrupt change at this time to one closely resembling that of the Danes. Interestingly recent DNA samples show that it is still vitually impossible to distinguish English from Danish or Frisian samples. Some academics consider that apart from the usual taking of slaves there was complete apartheid practiced by the Anglo Saxons.The same recent DNA studies show about 70% of English males bear the same "Atlantic Modal Haplotype" genetic signature common in Ireland, Wales, Scotland. The supposed Roman ancestry only showed up in a tiny minority. See Bryan Sykes, Stephen Oppenheimer.The book The Origins of the British (2006) by Stephen Oppenheimer covers the subject in detail.However, Capelli et al found that the Germanic influence in England amounts to between 24.47% and 57.52% (with a mean of 54.1%).
