D-Day

The battles for Caen and Cherbourg were the next step.

Almost a million Allied soldiers, sailors and airmen took part in D-Day. Apart from the 170,000 actually landed there were over 10,000 ships taking part and over 14,000 air sorties in support.

a free society was formed in Europe.

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

D-Day was the landing on France to engage Germany. Because of the successful landing, Germany had to split its forces between two fronts, the Russians to the East and the British and Americans on the West.

It depends on your opinion. Several thousands of men died that day but the overall task of the invasion was completed. I would say it's your opinion to choose.

The conflict was to capture and hold a large piece of France including significant coastal towns and ports.

Eisenhower sent the orders by radio..

General Frederick Morgan was the first planner of D-Day because he was Chief of Staff to Allied Command.

Gen. Eisenhower was the chief architect of D-Day.

No, the Western Wall is in Jerusalem. The Atlantic Wall was Hitler's fortifications around the French coast

Over 170,000 landed by sea, by parachute and by glider.

The 5 most suitable beaches in Normandy were selected and called Utah, Omaha, Gold,Sword and Juno. They were very carefully chosen for size, defences and type of sand/pebble. Most of it was excellent choice, except for drastically underestimating the protective German guns at Omaha.

The Allied forces were the winner of D-Day.

The Invasion of Normandy, also known as Normandy Landings (D-day), commenced on a Tuesday, June 6, 1944. There were 24,500 US paratroopers that landed at the battle scene of Normandy (500 of them being highly trained commandos). This mission started at 6:30 AM and was successful. The US casualties on this mission to this date was 6603 soldiers.

It was the Allied forces who invaded France and Normandy on D-Day. The countries were; ;Netherlands, Poland, Canada, Free France, Norway, Australia, New Zealand, Belgium, Greece, UK, USA and Czechoslovakia.

D-Day was fought on Normandy France. To be exact, there were 6 Beach Landings. The beaches were; Sword Beach, Gold Beach, Juno Beach, Pointe du Hoc, Utah Beach and Omaha Beach.

There was only 1 main purpose D-Day. That was that it was the beginning of the Allied campaign on the Western Front to regain control of western Europe and to push for Germany. That is why D-Day would be considered a turninf point of WW2 in Europe on the Western Front.

America would have secured a different beach head and their push on Europe much weaker. Russia would have won the race to Berlin and most likely captured much more of Europe. The cold war would have changed drastically.

It was not an Ocean. D-Day was on the shores of the English Channel.

There few difficulties on D-Day for the allies. The main one was the weather as in preparations for D-Day, the Allies needed to do it during night close to a full moon, so this left a 10 day window and on 9 of them the seas can be quite choppy, which didn't help the soldiers. Also the wind didn't help the parachuters as some of them were off target from few hundred meters to a mile or so.

The main objective was to land a large number of troops and vehicles on enemy soil.

Almost 4,000 Americans died in the first wave, mostly on Omaha Beach.

Gen Eisenhower was the chief organiser of D-Day. He was a great diplomat, sorting many problems between often egoistic senior officers.

The invasion of Normandy ultimately resulted in the defeat of Germany.

D-Day took place in north west France on June 6, 1944.
