On the actual day, around 2,000 Tanks were deployed to Normandy. However, by the end of Operation Overlord, the major operation in normandy, there was atleast 6,000 tanks involved. 4,000 were allied and 2,000 were German Tanks.

Many New Zealanders took part in the Allied air forces on D Day. At least 17 of these men were killed on or soon after D Day and are buried in Normandy cemeteries.

Gen Bernard Montgomery was the senior British General at D-Day.

Germany knew of an incoming attack somewhere on the coastline but they didnt know of when or where it was to be.

Gen Omar Bradley and Gen Bernard Montgomery were the Commanding generals on D-Day.

The Allied forces managed to overcome the German machinery by deploying tanks and having parachuting squads attacking from inland towards the beaches. This allowed the US men who were on the boats coming into Normandy and managed to get across the beaches without being killed or wounded by the German machine guns.

You must have soldiers on the ground confronting the enemy to win wars.

The significance of D Day was that it marked the first Allied Troops on the ground in Europe. This was the beginning of the end for the Germans.

D Day is the name given to the designated starting date of any military operation. The most commonly referred to D Day is the Allied invasion of Normandy, France. This invasion helped win the war because it provided the Allies with a beachhead in Europe and a place to start the liberation of Europe.

At the start of D-Day their was 166,000 soldiers and 155,000 were Allied, and 10,000 were Germans. At the end, the allies lost 12,000 men whilst the Germans lost around 7,500 men. So 166,000 - 19,500 = 146,500 men survived D-Day and 2,500 of them were Germans.

The Germans and their allies fought on one side. The Allied troops fought on the other side. French civilians were in the middle.

D-Day was when the Allies landed in force in France, to drive the German armies back.

For the first time in years the German troops had to fight a large well armed force.
