Where did the major allied invasion of Europe take place?
Normandy's beaches, and behind those beaches from the West, the South was covered by the Invasion through Italy, the North was attacked through Holland, and the Eastern front was attacked by the USSR.
What did Allied airborne divisions do months before the invasion and why?
Months before the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944, Allied airborne divisions conducted extensive training and planning to prepare for their critical role in the operation. They undertook reconnaissance missions, gathered intelligence on German defenses, and practiced parachuting techniques to ensure readiness. The goal was to secure key objectives behind enemy lines, disrupt German communications and reinforcements, and create confusion before the main amphibious assault, thereby increasing the chances of a successful invasion. This strategic preemptive action aimed to weaken enemy resistance and facilitate the Allied landings on the beaches of Normandy.
Why did the battle of Normandy begin?
AnswerThe Germans wanted more land and they wanted to control more of western Europe, so they took over Normandy, France and then the allied forces of Australia, Canada, Belgium, France, Czechoslovakia, Greece, New Zealand, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, the United Kingdom, and the United States were unhappy so they invaded the beaches of Normandy. The Battle of Normandy and the D-Day invasions were part of the overall strategy of liberating Europe from Nazi rule. Europe was being invaded from the east by the Soviet Army, and from the south by Allied forces in Italy, but a more broad front was needed for the main push on Germany, and Normandy was chosen.

What happened with the D-Day-Normandy?
156,000 british, American and Canadian troops landed over five beaches: Omaha, Utah, gold, sword and juno. also three airborne divisions landed behind the beaches: the US 82nd and 101st and the british 6th airborne division. while this was happening, hundreds of allied fighter bombers eg p47 thunderbolt and p51 mustangs were inland from the beaches hitting strategic targets and isolating the normany area from German reinforcement. The allied soldiers, sailors and airmen who took part in this put their lives on the line to free western Europe and should always be remembered with greatest respect. The German general Erwin Rommel said D Day would be the "longest day" because if the Germans could not drive the allied assault back into the sea the allies would prevail in the long term. By the end of DDay all 5 beaches were secure and even at this early point it would have been difficult for the Germans to dislodge them. DDay was a major turning point in WW2, after this Hitler and his Nazi regime was doomed and the people of western Europe would again be able to live in freedom and peace.

How do beaches stop errosion?

Why didn't they bomb the beaches on D-Day during World War 2?
Anti tank and aircraft guns. (anti tank guns could be easily converted to anti aircraft) It would been relatively pointless. Omaha beach along with all the beaches on DDAY were meant to be bombed prior to the landings but with the large amount of smoke (caused my grass fires) from the naval bombardment allied pilots could not properly identify their targets. To avoid the risk of dropping bombs short on the landing craft nearing the beaches the loads were dropped behind the beach head causing little to no damage. Utah beach was effectively bombed prior to the landings providing decent cover to troops which in turn lead to lighter casualties. This was one of the major failures on DDAY considering the size of the air strike and the planning that went into it.

No adverse effects were reported. However all Manned Landings were on the lighted side of the moon, possibly for better radio and Tv contact reasons. Man has never (officially) landed on the dark side of the moon. There were suggestions this did happen with the tragic Apollo l8.
