GENERAL OMAR N. BRADLEY U.S. ARMY

America invaded Normandy because we wanted to.

The battle for Omaha Beach ended on the evening of the 6 th June about 12 hours after the first landings.

Four awards were given for actions on June 6th,1944,but there are some more that were awarded for the month of June that include the days after D-Day.(i.e-they received awards for actions 1 to 20 days later.)

Pvt. Carlton Barrett,1stLt. Jimmie Monteith, Tech5 John Pinder,an BGen. Theodore Roosevelt.

The 8th Infantry Division, known as the 'Golden Arrow Division' , landed on Utah Beach on 4 th July 1944 and went on through northern France into Germany

American forces on Omaha and Utah beaches, British forces on Gold and Sword beaches, Canadian forces on Juno beach. German and French forces defending.

The Normandy Campaign is traditionally considered to have concluded with the liberation of Paris on Aug. 25, 1944.

There were no US Marines on the BEACHES at Normandy. There were marine snipers on the highest points on the ships firing at badly placed mines and MG nests along the beach. There were marines operating the main guns on the ships.

During World War II, the invasion of Normandy was an international affair in respect to the numerous different nations represented in the fighting forces. The defenders consisted of German troops interspersed with numerous different nationalities, including Russians conscripted into the German Army. On the Allied side, Canadian, British, and American forces made up the bulk of the fighting force, yet there were also Belgians, Australians, Norwegians, Poles, Dutch, and many other nationalities involved on land, at sea, or in the air.

It had to happen because they had to liberate France, but also catch the Germans by surprise.

During World War II, the Battle of Iwo Jima (February-March 1945) ended with full Allied control of the island. The 35-day battle consisted of an initial stage in which most of the island's primary strong-points were taken; the next stage, requiring nearly a full month, consisted of mopping up isolated resistance and individual defenders.

VE Victory in Europe....................

German General Erwin Rommel was defeated in northern Africa. Rommel fought valiantly, but needed sufficient troops to defeat the Allies. Hitler stupidly resisted doing this, choosing to save most of his troops for the upcoming disastrous attack on Russia. Rommel was disappointed, but continued to fight the allies with limited resources until the Americans joined the fight. Rommel's entire Afrika Corps was defeated.

Germany-Kar98k(bolt action standard rifle)Panzer tank, luger, mp 44, panzerfaust, striegelhande(grenades), tons of other less comon stuff. Japan that stuff minus the panzerfaust and the panzer tank and add on the arisaka bolt action rifle. America- m1 garand semi auto rifle standard, m1 bazooka, tiger tank, BAR automatic rifle, springfield bolt action rifle. stuff like that nothin fancy

No. Pearl Harbor was at the beginning of the US involvement in the war (Dec 7, 1941). D-day was near the end of the war in Europe (June 6, 1944)

Operation Neptune, was the assault and amphibious operations of the Allied invasion of Normandy, France; part of Operation Overlord.

To Kill people because they thought that Hitler would Ambush them himself

That's ridiculous!

Ummm, the invasion was actually the establishment of a foothold. It really wasn't a win lose sort but the allies actions were successful. Here is a link.....good luck http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Battle_of_Normandy

Max Pemsel during the WWII was Lieutenant General. Chief of the Army General Staff of the German 7th Army.

The Allied invasion of Normandy June 6th 1944. Airborne landings on the flanks of 5 invasion beaches codenamed Gold Juno Sword Omaha & Utah. Operation Overlord.

Also, D-Day means designated day, or an operation unnamed.

poop man

As well as the above who was a famous person indeed ! Eisenhower, Bradley & Patton were the US Generals at the time. Montomery was 21st Army Group Commander for the British. The German defenses were primarily commanded by Rommel, the veteran von Rundstedt was nominally in charge.

The U.S. droped Atomic Bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki in Japan.

During the single day,6 June,1944, approximately 4,950 Allied troops died. German figures are more difficult ,but it appears that about 10,000 Germans died.
