Extremely difficult weather, rain and wind storms over the English Channel was the problem.

My father was in the invasion fleet. Not all of the fleet got the order to turn back and he advised me a Landing barge kitchen (LBK) towed by a tug boat actually arrived off the beaches at Arromanches on 5 June 1944. It has always surprised me since that the Germans were not prepared for the invasion.

It also explains perhaps why Allied leaders did not postphone D-Day for another month, but took a narrow gap in the weather to make the landings anyway.

That bad weather was the cause of so many swimming Sherman tanks sinking in the swell notably off the American beaches where the swell hit them side on.
