It was the beginning of the Allied invasion of Europe. It began with the landing at Normandy, France. The invasion saw the largest amphibious assault in history
Yes, they did not anticipate where the invasion would take place, not enough land was covered by their troops. They also thought that Dday would be postponed due to weather.
I want you imagine that you are 17 years old and in a landing ship. You are put near shore where you wade into German gunfire and people dying all around you. Watch the DDay footage of that day.

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.

Hitler had invaded France, so we fought over the control of France from Hitler. DDAY was a landing on a French beach. When the allies came into an area the French people were liberated from the German occupation.
Operation Overlord, also known as D-Day, took place on June 6, 1944. It was the Allied invasion of Normandy during World War II.
For Skirmish Dday you have to call. I assume it is the same for Oklahoma and other big dday games also.
