D-Day

The English Channel, which separates England from France.

In the past in France, children were given the name of the Saint on whose day they were born. Every day of the year has its own saint, often more than one. However, as people became more adventurous with their choice of baby names (and anyway, who wants everybody born at the same time to be called the same thing!), that practice is dying out. Sometimes the Saint's name is used as a middle name, but that is rare too. But what has stuck is the celebration of the 'name day'. As well as a birthday, French people celebrate 'their' Saint's day too. My son is Benjamin. His birthday is 2nd December but his name day is 31st March, which is St Benjamin's Day. It's lower key than a birthday with just sweets and a cake usually. But it's always nice to celebrate.

Hope this helps. Stephanie

France is a good place to live in because you can do alot of things there like shop go for a walk without being scared or having to be careful or watching your back or getting hurt at any time. This is why France is a good place to live.

Evacuated children

During the Spanish-American War, George Dewey launched a surprise attack on the Spanish in Manila. This naval attack against the Spanish fleet occurred in 1898 at the start of the war, and the Spanish were defeated.

Over 1,000 armoured fighting vehicles were landed on the first day, many more followed daily.

Gosport

played a vital role in the preparations for D-Day.

There were over 39 centres of activity across the Borough. Fourteen of the caissons needed for the Mulberry Harbours were made in Stokes Bay.

Between November 1943 and April 1944, over 1600 men worked in all weathers, often working at night by arc lights. As one caisson was being launched, it toppled over, crushing and killing three men

A programme of beach hardening took place at Hardway,

Beach Street and Stokes Bay. Sections of concrete, which looked like bars of chocolate, were laid down to make it possible for lorries and armoured vehicles to embark onto the Landing Craft.

Many of the streets around the embarkation points became prohibited areas and local people needed special passes to move to and from their own homes.

No the 101st airborne was a group in 1944 and none are still alive so why would they deploy?

^who ever wrote that is a moron im pretty sure theyre still around considering im in the 101st airborne . yes they are deploying 101st 2BCT is deploying soon half of the 101st just got back.

The most important long-term effect was that Operation Overlord (the Normandy Invasion) was that it set the stage for the Allied victory in Europe.

By opening a western front, it forced Hitler to fight 2 full-time battles; one against the Americans and Brits, the other against a resurgent Soviet Union who wanted both revenge and victory for the atrocities the Germans had perpetrated on the Russians.

A little-known fact was that the Army lacked expertise in conducting amphibious operations and sent a group of generals and senior staff to learn from the Marines how to conduct landings under fire.

Based on your question, it looks like you are looking for a hexadecimal conversion.

Hexadecimal, or "Base 16" is a numbering system.

We have 10 fingers, and for that reason we developed a base 10 numbering system. 0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9

Each digit, represented in one space.

Hexadecimal, however, is base 16... The reason for this is because of computers having 8 bits per byte; 4 bits is called a nibble, and with 4 1's and 0's, you can get up to 16 possible combinations.

Here is a decimal / binary / hexadecimal table, so you can see how it works.

Decimal / Binary / Hex

0 / 0000 / 0

1 / 0001 / 1

2 / 0010 / 2

3 / 0011 / 3

4 / 0100 / 4

5 / 0101 / 5

6 / 0110 / 6

7 / 0111 / 7

8 / 1000 / 8

9 / 1001 / 9

10 / 1010 / A (See what we did there? It's "A", instead of 10, so it still takes one space!)

11 / 1011 / B

12 / 1100 / C

13 / 1101 / D

14 / 1110 / E

15 / 1111 / F

So... the D in the hexadecimal code 4D means "13", or 1101

To look at 4D in a computer's memory, it would be:

01001101

0100 (4)

1101 (D)

The Germans had superior tanks but the allies had numerical superiority. The allies tanks were also faster and more maneuverable, but had less firepower and were easier to destroy. On the western front, no comparison.....German tanks were far superior to anything the British/Americans put out. Three German tanks could take out ten American tanks without suffering a single casualty. Trouble was, Germany lacked air power and fuel, so this huge potential advantage was negated. On the Russian front, it is more complex. The Russian T34 was an excellent tank and just coming into major production late summer 1941. The T34 was hardly perfect however. Advantages would be speed, traction, sloped armor, handling, and mass production ability. Disadvantages were rate of fire due to crew members having multiple jobs and lack of communications. The German tank forces excelled at command and control. Thus the German huge victories on the open steppe. The Russian tanks, well made, lacked this command and control ability and generally had to rely on numerical advantage/mass. This situation is, to me, similar to the British advantage over the Spanish Armada. The Spanish had large, well built ships with lots of firepower. The English had smaller, more nimble ships that could out manuever the Spanish. Ultimately the English won. Of course, Germany lost but that is more due to lack of air cover and fuel as noted above. Also, the combined Allied armies produced probably three tanks for every one the Germans produced. Hard to beat those kind of numbers, whatever your qualitative advantage.

well, the US army 2nd ranger battalion was a battalion that scaled the cliffs of Pointe Du Hoc. There was an artillery piece that could fire up to 3 miles and had both Utah and Omaha beach in its sight. These were both of the beaches US was landing on. On Pointe Du Hoc, the US 2nd Ranger Battalion tossed a grenade into the place where the artillery piece was and "kaboom" it exploded! This was a major point in the US's plan of landing on the 2 beaches. A simple hand grenade WILL NOT destroy a gun emplacement, despite what Hollywood would have you believe. It takes about 10 pounds of dynamite to destroy a gun like that, and you have to place it directly IN the breech at the rear of the piece to destroy the firing mechanism properly. Well, one grenade COULD kill or disable the entire gun crew of 4 or 5 men in the emplacement. No one said they destroyed the artillery piece. Also, secondary explosions could have followed as there was a lot of ammunition there. Don't know about the ammunition for this gun, but many of the largest naval guns are loaded with cloth bags of powder. These would probably not explode, but there would have been one hell of a fire.

General McArthur, Admiral Kincaid,Admiral Fletcher, and a few thousand more officers did not command forces on D-Day

Each regiment took a boat down the English channel from Great Britain
