D-Day

The Germans knew that the Allies were planning a big attack in the Northwest. The target date was spring 1944.

The German objectives for D-Day and the weeks surrounding this date were to throw the invasion into the sea, or at leas to hold their ground and develop a concentrated counterattack.

Operation Days of Penitence happened on 2004-10-16.

American airborne landings in Normandy happened on 1944-07-13.

The Allies needed a foothold in France to launch an invasion to liberate France and attack Germany from the west.

Arthur Tedder is the name of the allies commanders in the battle of Normandy.

D-Day was a single battle, not a war. The combatants were The Allied Forces, - Britain, America, Canada and many other smaller units. The Opposition were the German Wehrmacht.

Getting good weather and the tides right were major problems.

The main people involved in D-Day were (Defenders) Germany, (Attackers) The United States (Omaha, Utah beaches and Point de Hoc) Canada (Juno beach) and British (Gold and Sword beaches).

The airborne landings of almost 25,000 paratroops folloded by the sea landing of 150,000 more troops and armour the next morningthe

He was given control of the fake Army to trick the Germans to defend the Pas de Calais instead of Normandy. This really only tricked Hitler, but it paid off since most of the Germans forces were stationed in the Pas de Calais region.

There was no single German officer in charge - there were dozens. Had Rommel been in charge he may have organised a real defence, but his orders were ignored by some and countermanded by other Officers.

The original primary objective of D-Day was to establish a beach-head and harbours in France to land and support 30 Divisions of Allied troops, armour and artillery.
- It was extremely successful and undoubtedly the turning point of WW2 in the Allies favour.

It was D-Day, the Allied invasion of Europe.

I'm no expert since I mainly focus on history, but I would imagne it would take a toll on your Liver and Kidneys... and I believe drinking to much also damages the Heart muscle. So if I can give any advice, don't do that...

I'm not a huge expert but I believe it takes place in Northern Africa and the Middle East.

Many things were significant -

It was and still is the largest amphibious and parachute invasion ever.

It was the largest seaborne landing of armoured vehicles ever

It was the first time a landing force prevailed against a much larger entrenched force.

It was the largest gathering of naval firepower ever

It was the first time amphibious armour was used in war.

There were more airborne attack sorties that one day than ever before( and possibly since)

D-Day was the code name for the Allied forces of Britain and Commonwealth and the USA to invade Nazi occupied France and to start the liberation of Europe. Literally the turning point of WW2 in Europe, this forced the surrender of Germany within a year.

That was D-Day, the 6 th June, 1944

1920 hours is 7:20 PM. Whether that's night or day depends on where you are and what time of year it is.

I'm assuming you didn't mean the year 1920, which, like all years, had both nights and days.

The Germans had too many leaders , that was one of their biggest problems. The leader of that particular sector was Gen Erwin Rommel, but he was over-ruled by his superiors at first.

Approximately 39,000 soldiers of the US 1st and 29 th Infantry Divisions were at Omaha Beach.

Gen Eisenhower was the Supreme Commander.

No Mexicans fought on D-Day (unless they were in the US Army.)

In the D-Day invasion the Allied armies, US, Britain, Canada and smaller numbers of many Allies were attacking German Armies holding Europe.
