D-Day

D-Day was the Allied invasion of France. It started on 6 th June, D-Day and lasted over 3 months,

D Day began in late May 1944 when the troops were all ready to board ships in Britain. Many troops boarded their ships two or three times only to have the event postponed due to bad weather.

About 156,000 allied forces involved in all and about the entire allied fleet was put against the germans

On the first day the Canadians had advanced most, almost 10 miles into France. All other troops were stalled about 4 miles from their beaches. The following days many more tanks were landed and the Allied armies advanced.

he Allies had over 11,000 boats and ships at D-Day. They ranged from huge transports carrying thousands of soldiers to Higgins boats that each carried a platoon into the beaches.

The Allies succeeded because of good planning and having all the troops ready. Also having huge naval and air support before and during the day.

Planning of D Day was done by a committee set up by British Lt. General Frederick Morgan. This started in May 1943.

They landed in force on the same day, same time as US Forces, 6 June 1944.

Many more troops would have died on the beaches. Many paratroops would have been lost and spread over vast areas.

Yes, Germany continued to put up heavy resistance. It took almost 8 months of bitter fighting in Northern France and Southern Germany before the was ended, in May 1946.

D Day was won by the Allied Forces. Over 90,000 of the landed troops were British.

Around 17,500 were killed during D-Day. 7,500 were German Soldiers and 10,000 were Allied soldiers.

At start of D-Day, Britain had 60,000 Soldiers. During D-Day It is estimated that 57,500 British troops survived,, the meant that around 2,500 British troops were killed in D-Day.

At least ~12,000 overall Allied casualties , German casualties were estimated at between 4,000 and 9,000 casualties .

The lack of planning on the Allied part. IF they would have planned it better, they probably would not have had as many losses.

Because that is what the committee decided.

In total, there was 156,000 Allied troops which were involved with D-Day. This included 15,000 Canadians, 60,000 British and 75,000 US troops.
