D-Day

one day

______________________________________________________

The day itself ,as the name suggested, was one day but the process of establishing a beachhead and a stable platform of operation that was the objective of D-Day lasted weeks.

I think they fought in the pacific, battle of new guinea and southern Philippines for sure.

I'm not sure of you mean the actual turning point of D-Day itself, or how it was a turning point for the war, so I will briefly answer both.

Turning point on D-Day:

All things considered, there really were no major turning points during the day, as the entire invasion was a success. The Initial invasion by the allied paratroopers allowed key roads and bridges to be captured, and also allowed German artillery positions to be attacked (featured in Band of Brothers, at Breacourt Manor). On the beaches, the invasion forces were able to move inland relatively quickly, so there were points where D-Day looked as if it would be a failure, meaning there was no real turning point.

Turning point for the entire war:

D-Day was the most important turning point during the war due to its importance in stretching the German Forces and hitting the Germans hard. The combined effort by all of the allied forces on D-Day marked the turning point in the war, as it was the largest invasion attempt by the allies. It was also the start of US Operations in Northern France, and the US proved to be critical in defeating the Germans in Europe. On D-Day, around 156,000 Allied troops took part in the operation, around 73,000 of them American. With the massive assault on Europe, the Germans were forced to bring in troops from Russia and North Africa, stretching the German lines thin. This allowed the Russians to make major advancements, and the combined force of the allies and Russians led to Germany's defeat.

Americans, British, French, and Canadians.

Zero.

Normandy is right on the french coast. The beaches where the D-Day landings took place are all in Normandy. The ports of Caen and Ouistreham are both in Normandy.

Thousands of Americans, along with thousands of other allied troops invaded Normandy.

Because it was when the Allies shattered the Nazi's defensive lines and pretty much told the Nazi leaders that the war was lost to them. With D-Day, a 2nd front had been opened on Germany's front lines, something Hitler was actually trying to AVOID. -_-

D -Day started at 00.01 ( just after midnight ) on the sixth of June. British glider troops landed and seized the Pegasus Bridge near Caen at 00.14, almost 6 hours before the seaborne landings. Shortly after this American paratroops of the 82 nd and 101st Divisions landed about 30 miles west of Caen and occupied the fields inland of Utah and Omaha Beaches.

Yes, D-Day was very successful.

The general plan for the invasion of Europe by the allies.

The German Military, for the most part, did not expect the Allied invasion to land at the widest part of the English Channel, Normandy. They expected (again, for the most part, not entirely) the invasion was more likely to come at the Pas de Callais, the shortest point of the English Channel and therefore the shortest distance between France and England. This prompted German forces toreinforce the French beachhead at the Pas De Callais with much more men, supplies, defenses and defense positions than in Normandy. Only German General Rommel, placed in command of Normandy shortly before the D-Day invasion, suspected the Allied attack on the Normandy beachhead. There was not enough time, though, to reinforce Normandy to his liking.

American General Dwight D. Eisenhower

It took at least several years to plan out all of the various details of Operation Overlord, the largest amphibious landing in world history. Over 160,000 Allied soldiers were committed to hit the beaches that day; by the end of August, over three million troops would be in France.

In 1942, British Prime Minister Winston Churchill unofficially referenced a lack of resources necessary to succeed with such a large undertaking. There was a proposal for an autumn of 1942 seizure of French ports, called Operation Sledgehammer. There was also Operation Roundup, a plan put forth for an invasion of northern France in the spring of 1943, which was delayed, expanded, and changed into Operation Overlord, utilizing aspects of Operation Sledgehammer and Operation Roundhammer.

It was japan not Asia wich is a conitnent but it was in 1945 and they droped 2

During his five-year military career, Golding was a participant in both the sinking of the great German battleship, the Bismarck, and in the allied invasion of Normandy.

Victory for the allies............................

the allied forces landed on all five beaches, Omaha, Utah, sword, gold and juno and pushed inward against German forces and finally overcame all German troops forcing Germans out of France

the hive is somewhere in heavons peak

the invasion of Normandy beach occurred on June 6, 1944

I believed the british and canadians stormed the Normandy beaches at Gold, Sword and Juno..........................

The Germans believed that the D-day landing would land on a different beach to the West of where it actually took place. Around the peninsula that jets out of Northern France. The allies even used fake tanks to fool the Germans into thinking an invasion was taking place there.

General Dwight d. eisenhower was appointed supreme commander for the Normandy invasion....................................

I have no kinda clue on this one just kidin it's is that d was a code letter
