D-Day

No Army Air Force personnel were killed during the raid. Men died while parachuting from their aircraft over China, others drowned when they landed by parachute in China. Some of the men captured by the Japanese were executed in Japan, and other men died in captivity. Of the 80 Army Air Force personnel that took part in the raid, 71 survived.

How can Alaska be an island ? Its part of the North American continent, with a long border with Canada. If the question means, which of the US States is an island state, it can only refer to Hawaii

Normandy lies on the northern coast of France, along the English Channel south east of Great Britain. Normandy includes territory in northern France and the Channel Islands.

After operation overlord was finished, the Allies stroke back on the Nazis in France. When the Allies started attacking the Nazis, Hitler and his newly wed wife decided to commit suicide and that was the end of the war with Europe, but the war with Japan had just begun.

Well, the Germans were called: Jerry, Fritz, Heinie/Hynee, Kraut, Boche (the ch pronounced like sh) and (obviously) Nazi.

News networks released very sketchy information about D-Day, much of their news came from German & French radio broadcasts about the invasion. The news was broadcast across the US. If you read "The Bedford Boys", it gives a first-hand account of how the news was received back home. They responded by calling for prayer at the local churches, canceling all baseball games and entertainment, such as dances. The people in this town that knew they had sons and fathers preparing for the invasion would meet and compare any news they could find. For weeks, they would greet each other in the street with "Have you heard any news from your son?". It seems that the impact of the D-Day invasion was almost the same as when the bombing of Pearl Harbor was announced. Today it could be compared to the day of the terrorist attack on the twin towers.

~ it provides limited protection to personnel who cannot wear masks

~it can be implemented more easily than evacuation

~it uses common skills and supplies anyone can learn and practice

For school uniform, a white shirt tucked into black or brown shorts with suspenders worn quite snugly and normally shorts and suspenders over a suit if they were posh but otherwise just a shirt with a pullover. I dont know why they wore their shorts so high it just must've been in fashion.

The US armed forces assign letters to certain plans, so that they can be discussed without interceptors knowing what it is. D day was the day when Britain and the US invaded France and took it back from the Germans. Some of the French fought for the Germans (and were punished by the free French later, depending on how they helped the Germans.).

So, the answer to your question would be:

The axis powers involved in D-Day were the Germans and the French that sided with the Germans.

several reasons, industries in Germany being bombed, aloss in proctivity. It has been said thou that German industries did "defied" the bombers and kept pumping out tanks and planes.

The bombing of oilfields and sythentic oil production plants, left Germany with an oil shortage

Hitlers "medeling" with plans, for example his halt order to his panzer forces closing in on Dunkirk, as some historians have said let the british army escape. Replacing and firing compendent Generals because he or they disagreed with one another.

Not knocking Russia or Britain out of the war. Because of this American and UK forces were able to build up in Britain and Egypt and fight the Germans on 2 fronts. Not defeating russia, dragged germnay into a war of attrition whcih they could not win with the Russians.

The SS had nothing to do with the Allies. the first part of this paragraph is true and correct but everything else is incorrect

A LOT!

The United States droped 3 Atomic bombs on Hiroshima in 1945. After that, the Japanese were living in hell. Atometrical (atom for short) Bombs contain very much power due to the contractoins of the protons and neutrons inside of an atom.

It was called D-day or Operation Overlord.

It was the day the allies opened a west front and made Germany's defeat imminent.

The Normandy D Day was far larger than the D Day for Okinawa. Over 5000 ships and hundreds of planes and hundreds of thousands of troops were involved in the Normandy Invasion. The invasion on Okinawa was peanuts compared to that.

The code names for the five beaches were: Omaha, Utah, Juno, Gold, and Sword

The Allied landing troops needed a low tide to see and avoid underwater mines and obstacles. The need for a low tide on the channel, determined by the moon's tug on the Atlantic, narrowed the choice of invasion dates in June. Conditions would be right on just 6 days that month -- June 5 to 7 and June 19 to 21. Only once a month does a low tide at dawn coincide with a bright moon. That June, a full moon at low tide would occur on the sixth. The invasion could thus take place on June 5, 6, or 7. Eisenhower chose June 5. But there was a storm before and after the June 6th, so the June 6th was the only window of opportunity when the weather would clear, if only for 36 hours: if not landed on that day, the operation would have to be postponed. Thereafore the D-day was postponed for one day, on 6th. Allies actually caught a lucky break on that day: because of the Allied air supremacy Germans were not able to monitor the weather above the Channel and were not aware that the storm would lay low for few days: most of the German troops were not on alert and even Rommel went to Germay. There was also a political motivation. The Allies were being pressured by Russia to begin a 2nd front in France in order to pull some German divisions away from those fighting against them. The Allies had to push back the date due to lack landing craft that had been in the Mediterranean area in support of the Anzio beach in Italy. There were many strategic factors that contributed to the date being set for this time of the year.

Approximately 3,323 US servicemen died in Vietnam in 1966.

The job of paratroopers were to get to the battle quickly and/or strike behind the enemy's lines in order to disrupt his forces or capture strategic points, such as bridges, that would help the infantry break through the enemy defenses.

Yes, because the evacuation from Dunkirk saved 338,226 soldiers [British & French]. Although a massive amount of equipment was lost, Dunkirk was probably Hitler's greatest mistake next to attacking Russia because if he had pressed home his attack he would have as good as wiped-out the army and destroyed morale. The saving of so many soldiers, against all the odds, gave a massive boost to morale in Britain - a boost that was never to be lowered, even during the blitz. Factually, Hitler snached defeat from the jaws of victory because it would have been imposible for Britain to replace so many men - the majority of whom were battle hardened. Let's be clear about this: Dunkirk was a defeat for the British & French, and wars are not won by defeat. But Churchill made much of the 'Miracle' of Dunkirk and indeed it seemed that it was a momentous action. Hitler was cautious about overstretchng the power of his panzer forces & knew that he still needed to defeat France as a whole. Nonetheless Operation Dynamo is one of the greatest escapes in History, a great credit to the armada of little ships that brought the troops home in great numbers against the odds.

For the allies, Dwight Eisenhower was the Supreme Allied Commander.

The subordinate commanders were all British with Montgomery in charge

of Land Forces, Ramsay commanding Sea Forces and Mallory leading the

Air Forces. Gerd von Rundstedt commanded OB West in defense with

Erwin Rommel In charge of Army Group B and the 7th Army was led by

General Friedrich Dollman.

The estimated total of over 10,000 casualties of Allied troops is quoted in Normandy landing operation. The U.S. Army Center of Military History cites a total casualty figure for U.S. forces at 6,036. The Heritage Foundation claims 4,900 US troops as dead on D-day. About 3,000 British and Canadian troops have been quoted as dead .
