D-Day

The code name for the invasion of France was Operation Overlord. This was used for the Battle of Normandy during World War 2.

Not likely that the world is going to end on December 21 2012, but change is coming and this date may mark the end of the world as we know it.

That date represents the end of the Mayan calender. Not even the Mayans believed that the world would end at that point in time they simply saw it as the beginning of a new age in their cyclic calender system.

However, if you want to make lots of money write a book about the end of the world in 2012 and get lots of mugs to buy into it and youll become rich.

Oh, and the world didn't end in the year 1800, 1900, or 2000 as "predicted" by Nostrodamus, so if you get it wrong just shift the goal posts and pretend that you knew the outcome all along and write another book about it!

Primarily on two of the five designated beach sites in Normandy, the ones called Omaha and Utah. The other three beaches, called Gold, Sword and Juno were taken mostly by the British and Canadians.

Scotland is part of the United Kingdom and so does not have separate membership of the EU.

== == The above answer fails to recognize the the USA was NOT involved in WW2 for more than TWO YEARS, from September of 1939 until December of 1941, and it did not have actual ground combat troops on the soil of Europe until 1943, the invasion of Italy. D-Day started on June 5 when American paratroopers dropped in to Normandy and raised hell the next day there was a battle for the beach heads of Normandy.

The largest historical amphibious landing took place on the beaches of Normandy, France on D-Day, June 6, 1944.

The Allies committed hundreds of ships and planes to the effort, which established a beachhead from which to end the German occupation of France and the Low Countries.

Houses looked a lot like the older homes you will see in any town or city of America. They had not started using stucco yet so houses were clapboard covered. Some of the houses were smaller than they are today. They had the same asphalt tiled rooftops. In some parts of the country they were brick. In England they were stone, brick, wood style. They had a lot of town homes in London. The villages and small towns had really cute houses. Once the homes were bombed they went to using a quick assembly type house construction.

Rommel and von Kluge had that area.

Get the book of General Speidel, who was second to Rommel, for a firsthand account of casualty reports.

It's called __Invasion 1944__, in the original English edition of 1950.

according to a docomentaire about D-day ,the casualties to the German side were 6500 dead!

Some of this information is available from the British Ministry of Defence or the US Defense Department. (see related link)

Hitler, he was dead before the Bomb was used in warfare.

D day June 6th 1944. 5 beaches: Gold Juno Sword Omaha & Utah. The largest amphibious operation in history.

Like many things in World War II, the answer to this question is entirely unclear. While it is said that D-Day opened a second front, it actually opened a third front. At the time of D-Day, Germany was faced with battle in the East against Russia, the south against the UK in the Italian peninsula, and now the west against a coalition of Allied forces. It is unclear how the Allies in Italy would have fared without D-Day, but more important is the Eastern front. Before D-Day, the Germans were being pushed back finally by Russian forces. Few, in fact, believed that Germany would have eventually prevailed. During World War II, however, Russia has sustained what is believed to be over 50 million dead. How many more dead could their economy absorb before simply collapsing due to lack of labor? If D-Day had not happened, it would have significantly delayed the end of the war, perhaps causing it to last for years longer. While there is no evidence that the Russian war machine was slowing, it is not completely unlikely that they would soon find themselves in a terrible situation. Many are keen to argue that Russia would have lost or Russia would have won anyway, but is entirely meaningless. History is built by events that did actually transpire, rather than silly hypotheticals. Regardless of whether they would have won or lost, though, it is very fortunate that D-Day did happen. The American intervention meant that the Russians were unable to conquer the entire continent as they were entirely capable and willing to do. Instead, Allied and Russian forces met each other in Germany, and that became the borders of the Iron Curtain to last until the early 1990's.

It comes out on the 10.11.12 I hope that answers your question.

A well-known sign/countersign is that used by the Allied forces on D-Day during World War II: the challenge/sign was "flash", the password "thunder", and the countersign (to challenge the person giving the first code word) "Welcome".
