The landings commenced on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 (D-Day), beginning at 6:30 AM British Double Summer Time (GMT+2).

Why they landed was to gain a foothold on Europe, and retake France, and to relieve German pressure on The Eastern Front...

Why would you choose the Moon Landings as a project?

Why not, just look at the wealth of information you can find on the Moon landings, just type moon landings into google and be prepared to sit there for a few years. Or just go to Apollo Moon Missions on this site for lots of information. It's all there from the start of the Space Race to the Conspiracy Theories about how they faked it all.


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.
