D-Day was nicknamed Operation Overlord to signify the overarching Allied campaign to liberate Western Europe from Nazi occupation during World War II. The term "Overlord" reflected the scale and complexity of the operation, which involved extensive planning and coordination among Allied forces. It encompassed not only the Normandy landings on June 6, 1944, but also the subsequent military actions in Europe aimed at defeating Nazi Germany. The codename helped to mask the operation's true purpose from enemy intelligence.
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.
For Skirmish Dday you have to call. I assume it is the same for Oklahoma and other big dday games also.
Operation Overlord began on D-Day 6th June 1944 with the Normandy landings.

About 3000 people died on Dday.
D-Day was the Allied invasion of German occupied France, on the beaches of Normandy on 6 june,1944.
D DAY was the day the allies went to recapture france the battle following Dieppe In World War 2 in comparisson to WW1 in a sense dieppe was like the battle of the sommes and dday was like the battle of vimy ridge. Dieppe was a failure and the lessons learned lead to the success of Dday. Dday played an important part in the allies fate because the allies recaptured france who had fell to russia only 6 weeks into war. this marked the last battle in europe in ww2.
