70th Anniversary of D-Day

[Godscreated]

There was far more to when D-day was started, the US had to bring all it's supplies by ship to England, including tanks and other large military transportation. Also the large guns and the enormous amount of ammo. The soldiers, food and all those things it takes to put a man into action. Those ships were targeted by the German U-boats constantly. The war machine that hit the beaches of France had to be built in England including a port. As far as the mistake of the tide only rumor, the mines on the poles would have done much damage to the incoming landing craft, low tide was a decision. The US and England were not idle during the time leading up to the invasion, they were flying bombing raids daily into Germany destroying the factories building the German war machine and railroads that supplied the fronts. They also took out as many fuel depots as they could find, the English also destroyed dams to cut the vitally needed electricity. If it were not for the allied forces working out of England Russia might have very well been taken by Germany, the western front occupied a lot of the German resources allowing the Russians to make their push. It was a co-operation that ended a great terror, the US was also fighting on two fronts and on the Pacific front we had to rebuild a navy that was badly damages. The greatest mistake made in WWII was the Japanese leaving 4 aircraft carriers afloat, that had been their primary target.
We were also fighting the Germans in Africa and coming up through Italy putting even greater pressure on the German war machine, D-day was in actuality a faster way to Germany.
