They had landed directly on enemy controlled beaches about 200 miles southeast from where the Germans were expecting them. -Even after the invasion started, the German high Command were convinced it would happen at Calais.

∙ 12y agoIm not an expert, but i beleive that there was a whole bunch of tactical deception on dday. we (allies) had a fake army north of where we launched from (dont know the name). we had inflatable tanks, jeeps, planes, and troop transports. this was greatly reinforced by the fact that general patton visited the camp occasionally (he was a major tank commander). where we had the ficticious army, we were at the narrowest point in the english channel so that was the ideal place to launch an assault. normandy was almost twice as far to cross. the german commander came just in time and decided to reinforce the german deffenses by adding more bunkers, antitank landmines and barricades, and a pile of telephone poles, made to look like an artilery gun that was 20 miles away from the beach but could rain accurate fire on it. we sent in our most elite fighting group to go disable the gun but when they got there and realized that there was no threat, they headed back and were ambushed on their way back ( i dont believe it was a masacre, but it was a decent ambush). another deception we used was an attempt at an amphibious tank. we had tanks with propellers put on them and that had a 10 ft tall canvas wall on all sides, it was design to not look like a tank untill it was on the beach, then the canvas would be dropped and the main turret could start firing. since we have never used anything like this, the germans wouldnt realize the threat until the canvas was dropped...if the canvas ever got dropped. since it was only canvas 13 out of the 14 that were launch sank (not sure on the total number lost, i know it was low and only 1 made it). the one that did make it was destroyed by a landmine almost immediatly.
hope this helps

Defese for assault causing bodily injury in Texas?
The only reasonable defense would be a plea of "Self Defense"
How many years in juvi for killing in self defese?
Without more spedific information than what is included in the question it cannot be answered with any certainty. But, first of all, if it can be proven that it WAS in self-defense, you would not spend any time jail at all.
What is the percentage of homeschool students that make it to college?
I don't know if that # is out there, but if it is it'll be on the Home School Legal Defese website, (www.hslda.org--or similar). Some people view college as necessary to their goals and some do not, just like PS. I predict my HS kids will go to college, because that is important in our family. We've talked about it since they were young. Miz
You want to learn krav maga but not the light version that's for womens self defense you wanna learn the hard core version that they teach mossad officers any ideas?
Krav maga is not taught 'watered down' by qualified instructors. It is a straight forward art without any fluff.To give you extra insight into your question on wanting to learn "hardcore Krav maga such as taught to Mossad any ideas".Based on my own almost 10 years of Krav Maga training (26 years I am in self defese or full contact martial arts). I trained in a few different versions of Krav maga, became an krav maga instructor. (plus already 4th dan in Mugendo, full contact kick boxing for year, & do muay thai too)I came across a very "hardcore" version of Krav Maga, I was impressed & I certified as instructor in this "version" of "hardcore" Krav Maga, developed by top expert in Israel called Itay Gil (This was 3 years before "Human Weapon" krav maga History Channel feature, which he appeared in). Itay Gil who was head of I.D.F. Krav Maga training, after he did 9 years active service in unit called Yamam, and still training the Duvdevan IDF unit in Krav Maga and I think the IDF version of navy seal (Sayreth 13, I think is name?) they all are trained in "hardcore krav maga".A friend an associate of Itay Gil, who taught me combat shooting, (part of this style of krav maga instructor certification requirement) who severed in Israeli Special Unit Sayreth Duvdevan maybe 10+ years back, told me the Krav Maga traning was very "hardcore" & daily 2 - hours for 4 - 6 months, then training was montly "top up". Broken noses, KOs, injuries etc. The IDF Krav Maga Instructor who trained him was a son of famous Israel Martial Arts expert Dennis Hannover. Apparently the injury rate was so high from hardcore Krav Maga the very elite units learned was so high, up to 40% of those selected had to drop out due to injury. (open to correction on that figure), this units krav maga training IDF cut back to 4 months & 2 hours daily to stop the injury rate. (Remember these dudes Shoot!.. KM is a back up).The civilian version is 90% similar syllabus, and it is very simple, very strike orientated, not many techniques, more improvised focused. However, Full Contact all out fighting and full contact attacks from weapons (rubber training knife, baton. gun disarms with gas power air soft guns). I also incorporate a lot of full contact sparring boxing etc, boxing Vs kickboxing with knees etc (and all out fighting non stop 1 min drills). Where I instruct my Krav Maga class, following the syllabus & ethos from Itay Gil.How Hardcore? My Krav Maga class I treach, & train (only several of us small group)I got ribs broken few weeks back during the above free fighting full contact drills (still trained on), yesterday was hard fighting with one guy very close to full knock out. Tomorrow is going be full contact Krav Maga knife defenses, & batons (using hard plastic heavy pipe... not a foam training baton). Black eyes are common. We ease off the hard hard stuff for a few weeks, then do at least 1 week a month full on, do or die.That is the way Itay Gil's Krav Maga method is, that's what he teaches to Special IDF Units (see youtube etc.Long answer because I the above is the only way I could give you you a fair full answer to your question. Compare the "hardcore" to other versions of Krav Maga and draw your own conclusions.Final point, in martial arts in general, there is too much talk about "styles" in general view it like this, there is e.g. punches/strikes etc. E.g. in a real fight street self defense - it is either you or the criminal violent attacker. Only one of you will Win!There is only 2 types of punch/strike -1. A Bad Punch/Strike. they did not damage your attacker. (so your in danger now)2. A Good Punch/Strike's which stunned, neutralized, injured your attacker so you can escape. (Your not a victim, your out of danger. You got a successful result.)Styles - be it Krav Maga or other Reality Self Defense Martial Arts, it is not so much the style most have very similar punches/strikes etc , it is HOW you train that makes Krav maga good for the street. Hardcore full contact and also on street attack recreations and very aggressive mindset.
