News networks released very sketchy information about D-Day, much of their news came from German & French radio broadcasts about the invasion. The news was broadcast across the US. If you read "The Bedford Boys", it gives a first-hand account of how the news was received back home. They responded by calling for prayer at the local churches, canceling all Baseball games and entertainment, such as dances. The people in this town that knew they had sons and fathers preparing for the invasion would meet and compare any news they could find. For weeks, they would greet each other in the street with "Have you heard any news from your son?". It seems that the impact of the D-Day invasion was almost the same as when the bombing of Pearl Harbor was announced. Today it could be compared to the day of the terrorist attack on the twin towers.
