D-Day

Latest figures for American casualties on D-Day show approximately 8,004 including the Airborne. Approximately 3,200 of these have so far been identified as dead. Accurate record keeping was very difficult to accomplish during that time, so figures change almost monthly

The invasion it self occured on 6 June 1944 - mid-July 1944. So it lasted around 1 month and 2 weeks.

The Allies win the war by securing the help of the US. This gave them a great numerical advantage over the Central Powers who had had the edge for most of the war.

I think they attacked Omaha Beach because the Allies think that's the only way they could push through Europe and into German soil to end the war machine, the Axis.

D-day in Europe took place on June 6, 1944. The ground invasion began with the amphibious assault at Normandy, France.

(Extracted from the wikipedia article provided in the links) D-Day is a term often used in military parlance to denote the day on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. "D-Day" often represents a variable, designating the day upon which some significant event will occur or has occurred; see Military designation of days and hours for similar terms. The initial D in D-Day has had various meanings in the past, while more recently it has obtained the connotation of "Day" itself, thereby creating the phrase "Day-Day".[1] By far, the best known D-Day is June 6, 1944 - the day on which the Battle of Normandy began - commencing the Western Allied effort to liberate mainland Europe from Nazi occupation during World War II. However, many other invasions and operations had a designated D-Day, both before and after Operation Overlord. The terms D-Day and H-Hour are used for the day and hour on which a combat attack or operation is to be initiated. They designate the day and hour of the operation when the day and hour have not yet been determined, or where secrecy is essential. There is but one D-Day and one H-Hour for all units participating in a given operation. When used in combination with figures, and plus or minus signs, these terms indicate the point of time preceding or following a specific action. Thus, H−3 means 3 hours before H-Hour, and D+3 means 3 days after D-Day. H+75 minutes means H-Hour plus 1 hour and 15 minutes. Planning papers for large-scale operations are made up in detail long before specific dates are set. Thus, orders are issued for the various steps to be carried out on the D-Day or H-Hour minus or plus a certain number of days, hours, or minutes. At the appropriate time, a subsequent order is issued that states the actual day and times.

It certainly depends on the type and extent of the damage. To the wood, medal or both? It is not a long extractor gun, correct? Also the engravers might add to the value. Figure of the wood could be a plus. The 458 mag is a desirable caliber.

There will never be a completely accurate account of how many casualties there were on D-day, but the accepted estimate is 2,500 of the Allied Forces (America England, Russia and Canada) died on that day, and some 3,000 of the Axis powers (Germany and Japan) have been reported, totaling 5,500 casualties. There were also some 19,000 civilians killed shortly before and after D day as a result of D-Day.

== == D-Day, the Sixth of June 1944, was the beginning of the end for Nazi dominated Germany, whether Hitler realized it or not (and in fact at the time he did not). There was still almost a year of hard fighting ahead for the Allies, but D-Day opened the second front that forced Hitler to fight on two fronts, east and west, and ultimately the Germans couldn't keep it up. By April of 1945 Nazi Germany had been squeezed into a little hourglass shape between the Red Army advancing from the east and the Western Allies advancing from the west. Hitler committed suicide in his bunker in Berlin on April 30, 1945, and eight days later the Germans unconditionally surrendered. After almost six years of the worst fighting the world had ever known, the war in Europe was over .

Churchill did not say this about D-Day (he said it in 1942), but the quote seems to apply anyway: " ... this is not the end. It is not even the beginning of the end. But it is, perhaps, the end of the beginning."
