How did D-day help win the war?
we won the war because all the troops from loads and loads of different countries joined us and marched on to Germany's land and defeated them.
What kind of planes were used on the World War 2 D-Day?
There was no change in the type of aircraft used during D-Day that hadn't been used during previous campaigns in Europe; the aircraft were the same.
What would had happened if D-Day was NOT successful?
Well my guess would be that the Allies probably would have tried again. After all, they still had a vast army of men and material to use and although the Soviets were pretty consistently turning the Nazis back by this point, victory was far from certain; not to mention fears of a Soviet dominated Europe. Northern France was still their best bet as it gave them fairly open territory to fight on and deep water ports to dock ships, not to mention a lot of room for maneauvering. The invasions of Italy and Southern France were hemmed in largely because of the Alps, which although passible, would have given the Nazis an excellent opportunity to inflict massive casualties with minimum forces, allowing more and more troops to be redirected towards the Eastern Front. The Balkans posed the same problem. The problems due to a failed Allied landing would be we would certainly lose face before the Soviets, who were clammering for an Allied offensive in the West pretty much since 1942, and it might make it almost impossible to negotiate with them after the war: after all, if the Soviets hadn't felt like the British and Americans had contributed anything to the war effort, what justification could we give to demand their cooperation?---besides another war, which was the last thing anybody wanted. Also, the Nazis would clearly be prepared the next time and the Allies would almost certainly have to risk attacking the heavily fortified positions at Calleigh (sorry, I can't speak French, so I apologize for the misspelling). They would have sacrificed surprise for conveniance and that would almost certainly mean a powerful German counterassault waiting in the rear in the event of a successful landing. Thank God D-Day was a success, because the Allies had to land those troops somewhere, and if it had failed in Normandy it would have become exponentionally more difficult later on.
Who continually urged the british and Americans to invade France?
Stalin insisted on an allied attack on the European continent to relieve German pressure on the Russians...............

No, Japan did not help Hitler in D Day. I believe they were busy with the Marianas at the time.
What three countries were against Hitler in d day?
The British, Americans and Canadians were the main allied combatants of the D-Day invasion, there were no doubt others, but these were the main three.
What is a simple explination of the Battle of Normandy?
The US British & Canadian forces landed on 5 Beaches. There were 2 parachute landings on the flanks. The Germans countered with tanks & the invasion, having established a bridgehead, was successful when the US forces under General Patton (US 3rd Army) launched Operation Cobra, which freed France & liberated Paris. The British & US forces advanced into Holland & eventually into Germany.

Who did the US attack on D-Day?
D-Day was at Normandy France, and attacked the occupying German forces. Germany was still attempting to take over Europe, and after France had surrendered, Germany set up bunkers along the coast of France to repel the invading Allied military forces. After the Allied forces successfully gained control of the Normandy beaches, they were able to deliver a military force that eventually defeated the NAZI's.
Party food for v e day what did they have?
In both England and the United States they celebrated with whatever food they had stocked up from their rations and regular purchases. Many made cakes, sandwiches, chocolates and some even had beer which had been reduced during wartime. Potatoes had been available so they fries, chips and whatever else they could think of. There is an excellent video showing a party for children celebrating the victory and the hope of their men folk coming home soon. One boy really stuffed his face with cakes, sandwiches and more slices of buttered bread. I think the video was called The Last Days of World War 2.
Did the Nazis use 50 Caliber Machine Guns on D-Day?
no they used mg42
which fires an 8mm cartridge which is similar to the american 30/06 cartridge......
No. The soldiers on the Western Front were already there. Few if any troops were pulled from the East to defend the West as a result of the invasion. yes because if the allies would except Hitlers offer to withdraw from france, belgium and hollandand, luxemburg this would have freed up 63 divisions most importantly 7 armoured divisions and the 3 that were being formed there

Has president Obama ever gone to the d-day celebration in France?
Yes, he has. Barack Obama attended the D-Day memorial ceremonies in Normandy on the 65th anniversary of the Allied landings in 2009.
It was almost completely destroyed be the war. Many cities were bombed. Berlin was almost reduced to rubble and was split up between the soviet union, United States, Britain, and France. Germany is still giving money to other countries to this day to make up for the war. WW2 was probably the most darkest time in Europe.
