D-Day

read the back :D

That's a very broad question, but generally, most of the American troops headed east and south in an effort to lock in Cherbourg as a usable port and to prevent the various German forces from re-inforcing this move. Most of the British and Canadian forces headed north east to relieve the low countries, Belgium and Holland and to harrass the large German tank formations in that area.
Once the Allies held the original beaches it was still very necessary to gain major ports to receive the thousand of tons of supplies, fuel and ammunition they needed.

I owe you, as in I owe you money or something

Absolutely. Phony transmissions to a phanthom allied army to balloon like planes, tanks, vehicles in fields in England so German scout plnes could see them.

The US 1st Infantry Division and the US 29th Infantry Division (Virginia-Maryland National Guard).

France.

June 6, 1944.

D in D.R.S.A.B.C.D. stands for danger, check the airway (throat) and check if there is any mucus or if the "patient" has choked on their own tongue.

D DAY was the day the allies went to recapture france the battle following Dieppe In World War 2 in comparisson to WW1 in a sense dieppe was like the battle of the sommes and dday was like the battle of vimy ridge. Dieppe was a failure and the lessons learned lead to the success of Dday. Dday played an important part in the allies fate because the allies recaptured france who had fell to russia only 6 weeks into war. this marked the last battle in europe in ww2.

to get the ground soft

None, there was no Luftwaffe opposition.

You cannot do this, as adding five odd numbers together will give an odd result.

June 6

3rd Platoon, D Battery, 1st Battalion 19th Field Artillery Regiment which is a US Army unit.

I googled it. It is currently located at Fort Sill, Oklahoma. It is a Field Artillery training unit for soldiers after basic training. It is a part of the 434th Field Artillery Brigade. A soldier assigned to this unit is either a trainee or a trainer/support person.

Around 10,000

d = dinarius (basic Roman currency unit for almost 2000 years)

British currency was based on the Roman 'dinarius' of which there were 240 dinarius (240d) to the pound which consisted of 20 shillings each composed of 12d (12 pennies) to the shilling. A Crown was 5 shillings (5/-) and a halfcrown was 30d (2/6d). A Guinea was 21/- (21 shillings).

Instead of at Normandy, at Calais, France.

60%. 65 is usually a D+ and 70 a C.

Normandy is no longer a country. It's a region in the northwest of France.

Surprisingly paratroopers were first thought of before airplanes or even parachutes were even invented. One of the first men to come up with the idea of dropping men from the sky was Benjamin Franklin. "Where is the prince who can afford so to cover his country with troops for its defence [SIC], so that ten thousand men descending from the clouds might not, in many places, do an infinite deal of mischief before a force could be brought together to repel them?"(1) Benjamin Franklin 1784. Even though Benjamin was a great inventor, this idea was never fully used until World War Two. In World War Two the Germans, Russians, and the French had created entire Regiments of the people. However for America and Brittan it took the great mind of Winston church hill to state "We ought to have a corps of at least 5,000 parachute troops… I hear something is being done already to form such a corps but only, I believe, on a very small scale. Advantage must be taken of the summer to train these forces who can none the less play their part meanwhile as shock troops in home defence [SIC]."(2) In 19?? (find out) These two men influenced the world with simple words.

Paratroopers have a fairly recent yet fascinating history. The Germans were the first country to create an actual parachute regiment. In 1935 they used Junkers 52s as the planes to drop the troops. The Germans approached this technique as a form of Lightning Warfare "Blitzkrieg," Though the Germans were the first to create a regiment of Paratroopers the Russians were the first to use them. In 1936 the Russians sent 1,200 men by parachute to reinforce the lines the enemies were even impressed by their maneuvers. The Russians named these troops "Locust Warriors," Not to be underdone the Germans used them to attack a fortress in Norway on March 12, 1938, and on May 1940 they were dropped to capture several air basses in Oslo and Stavanger. This was the first time they were used to attack a target. By this time France created a whole Regiment because of the success this style of combat was having. However it was too late for them they were out of the war almost as soon as the Regiment was created. On the other hand America and Brittan were very skeptical of the Paratroopers. Fortunately Major William Lee headed the first American Platoon of paratroopers in 1940. Finally after several demonstrations America and Brittan both created groups of paratroopers about 9,000 strong. For these warriors they created a special camp called Fort Benning, in Georgia. This camp had a parachute school where they would learn to jump. This is only a glimpse of the paratroopers around the World War Two.

Its fairly hard to actually make an exact point on when they started. It all depends on what form of development your talking about.

Operation Overlord. the entire Battle sequence is, however popularitly referred to from it"s target date of D-Day- June 6, l944. D-day- the day the battle was initiated. then you had D plus One, etc in the chronicles as the larger Breakout campaign expanded- such target areas as St. Mere Eglise ( which tragically, means Holy Mother Church!) St. Vith, etc.

The Allies did win D-Day, as they gained a foothold on the German ground in France.

Good planning, good intelligence, excellent luck in having the Nazi's believe a deliberately planted subterfuge about where the landing would be, overwhelming material and ordinance support, the previous decimation of the Luftawaffe (which was nearly impotent by the time of D-Day), and above all else, the extreme bravery of the invading armies.
