D-Day

Dwight Eisenhower married to Mamie Doud in July 1, 1916

Four individuals were awarded the CMH for action during D-Day, June 6, 1944. Carlton W. Barrett, Jimmie W. Monteith, Jr., John J. Pinder, Jr., and Theodore Roosevelt, Jr.

June 6, 1944 was important because that is the day when the American, Dutch, French, British, and Soviet Union stormed the beaches of Normandy, France. All the soldiers combined were 160,000 Troops.

The WWII D Day invasion took place on 6 June 1944, so June 6 yearly is the observance

As President, he oversaw the cease-fire of the Korean War, kept up the pressure on the Soviet Union during the Cold War, made nuclear weapons a higher defense priority, launched the Space Race, enlarged the Social Security program, and began the Interstate Highway System

Winston Churchill played virtually no part in planning D-Day. The planning was done by an Allied forces committee led by British General Frederick Morgan.

There are two types of electrical generator.

One is a dynamo, which produces d.c.

The other is an alternator, which produces a.c.

D-Day led to the liberation of France and many other countries in Europe. D-Day weakened German defenses. Although there were many casualties the Allies were able to win the war and impact the world today so we can learn from past mistakes.

Rationing was the restriction by law of food, sweets, clothes, petrol etc so that everyone could get something to eat etc, and so that rich people did not buy up everything. Rationing carried on for seval years after the end of WWII, I remember the end of sweet rationing.

The Allied forces which landed on the Normandy beaches did not actually fight in the capture of Berlin, which was a Russian battle. After landing on the European mainland the drive to Berlin took less than a year.

it was not invented. V E day refers to Victory in Europe......when the Germans surrendered

Sicily a small island by Italy used to launch an invasion in Italy. When allies went through Italy Mussolini fled but was captured and Italy surrendered. After this event only two Axis powers were left- Japan and Germany ( Italy was now with the Allies.) This was a huge event that led the Allies to win.

One thing that was said "We are surrounded sir!", "Private, we're airborne, we are always surrounded"

Question answered by Modern Weapons Specialist

Today's technology's means more advanced weapons systems, i remember just 10 years ago when there was no Holographic sights or anything fancy like that. People ask me all the time what is the best gun, but the simple fact is it is a false question and is impossible to effectively answer. There are weapons for diffirent things, Long range sniper rifles for surgical shooting at far distances, weapons for clearing rooms, and ETC.

Naturally the allies had thought this out as so many lifes were at risk. As far as I know they expected to get atleast a foothold. I may be wrong. The better question would be..........What reserve UNITS where there? The plan was to land at least 50,000 men on day one, and a further 50,00 each day for the first week. That was over and above the armoured and artillery units and their manpower.

There was 7,800 Germans at Omaha Beach that defended their taking of Northern France.

I hope this has helped in any way.

Another name for it is D-day.

The conflict of D-Day was basically that the Germans had occupied most of Europe and the Allies wanted Europe to be liberated. The Allies, Britain, USA, Canada and the British colonies then decided to invade France to defeat the Germans on land.
