D-Day

Yes, despite all the planning, Eisenhower was very worried. The weather was unpredictable and could have ruined the landings.

In a manner of speaking, quite good. The allied airborne forces were scattered all over for various reasons. This caused great confusion among German forces who thought, do to the many places allied airborne forces were seen and fighting, that the airborne forces were in greater number then they actually were....................................

From the Allied Forces group that planned D-Day, COSSAC.

These images are the various D day symbols

No, Utah Beach was first. Sword was the last beach attacked.

Get as many troops, armour and guns on the beach as possible on first day. That was achieved by getting over 170,000 troops and 10,000 vehicles ashore. Second objective was to hold ground so the beaches could be used to land more troops and supplies every day. This too was achieved.

France celebrates D-Day because their country was liberated.

Largely, they were defeated. Only a few regiments and tank battalions lasted the day.

Approximately 162,000 Allied troops survived the 6th of June.

The Allies gained a foothold in Eastern Europe and would eventually liberate France from The Third Reich's control.

The Normandy American Cemetery and Memorial is a World War II cemetery and memorial in Colleville-sur-Mer, Normandy, France, that honors American soldiers who died in Europe during World War II.

VE day when Germany surrendered was 8th May ,1945 and VJ Day was August 14,1945.

June 6th, 1944.................

had the allies (Britain the U.S. and Canada) not invaded Normandy or had been push back into the sea, Germany could have concentrated the forces on the eastern front where they were losing to Russia. Had they done they done this they could have prolonged the war if not won it all together, had that happened this answer would be in German. Hope it helped.

The goal of Overlord was to to remove the German armies from France, Belgium and Holland.

While it is true that allied discipline, bravery and ability played a big part, it must also be said that Hitlers incompetence as a military commander also played a big part in the outcome.

All ranks fought. Many British, American and Canadian generals landed in the first or second wave of troops. Gen Norm Cota of the 29 th US Infantry always comes to mind. He landed early in the morning and was an absolute inspiration to all troops on Omaha Beach, -that's my kind of leader !

Yes, the invasion of Normandy was a good idea because the Allies needed to invade Europe to aid there French allies.

No, it was an incredible success.

Be more specific. The object was not to save anyone.

er.. Normandy of course.

The British were assigned to Gold Beach : 50th (Northumbrian) Infantry Division and 8th Armoured Brigade .

If any of the beaches had been lost on D-Day the others could have supported them . If the whole invasion had been pushed back it would have taken at least 3 years to recover.

quite a lot, there was actually an ex German spy who started to help the English and actually told the Germans that there was going to be an invasion in Calais on June 6th, also there were dummy planes and tanks put in Dover and they created a fake radio tower which gave off radio signals.

The English Channel was crossed on D-Day. Many of the ships came further from west England and had 3-4 day voyages.
