Their stories were very interesting, and most of them showed how quickly the allies got a beach head, and the tanka rolling out of the water.

[@johndunkelburg5143]

Normandy had the broad, flat beaches on the Channel coast necessary for the flat-bottomed landing craft to get as close to the sea wall as possible, and had the relatively flat terrain further inland to enable a rapid push off the beach. The only other similar beaches were on the French Atlantic coast and lacked the relatively sheltered waters of the English Channel to rapidly move supplies to the beachhead free from U-boat interdiction.

[@3dartstudio007]

One of the technologies was a tank that could be deployed off of the beach landing craft. They did mention the tanks didn't make in this video. Some of the water proof tanks did make it out of the lander, but instead of falling to the bottom and driving up onto the beach, they were top heavy when loaded with munitions and landed turret down at the bottom. The high price of testing "untested" technology in a combat situation.

As a Canadian I'm super proud that we took Juno and a lot of the northern Europe positions (there's even a Dutch town that named a soldier from my hometown in Montreal for huge honors for single handedly saving so many lives) but yeah, I will always have a special place in my heart for the poor souls on the eastern front. In Canada we truly don't learn enough about that side of the conflict. In school history we usually learn about Hitler, the Holocaust, invasion of Poland, France and D-day, and it pretty much ends there. We learn very little true details of the war and almost nothing about anything in the east after Poland. It's hard to teach this stuff to kids but I think we do a disservice to our population by not informing us of how gigantic the eastern front really was, considering it was even bigger than anything we took part in.

[@blyat_horse156]

IIRC the night before, as a morale booster, the men had a massive meal, and another massive breakfast that early morning. The idea was that it would allow the men to fight harder, having more energy, and those who would die would have at least had a good meal before their deaths. This is the primary cause for the rampant seasickness that plagued the troops during the landings. That and the choppy waves

[@lazyidiotofthemonth]

The French coast facing the english channel varies a lot, and they also wanted a deep water port, so they had to land a reasonable distance from a port. Because England was so close, the Medieval and Early Modern English would raze as many villages on the sea as they could, so developement of Normandy's port was pretty anemic. The Airborne misdrops ironically convinced the Germans that the Allies had dropped seven or more divisions and caused the Germans to initially misdeploy what reserves they had.

[@ratmoko1]

They needed deep water to build a port and bring heavy ships close to shore thats why Normandy. Not every coastal area can have a port, the elevation loss under the water is too mild in most places, making the shore shallow for possibly miles out from the beach.

Plus the Mulberries- huge floating concrete structures that could be towed across the Channel and then sunk, forming the breakwater and piers of a new harbor on the coast. There was nothing sexy about the Mulberries, but without them, supplying the Allied army in France would have been impossible.

I read an account of Teddy Jr. during the landings. He, apparently, hated wearing a helmet, so there he was, gray, bent over (he’d had at least one heart attack by the time of the landings) with his cane, walking upright on the beach, whapping soldiers on the butt with his cane, saying over and over “Get up! Get up the beach!” He leads men inland, gets shot in the foot, commandeers some farm cart and has his men push him in his cart. He stayed awake something like 3 days, leading from the front in his soft cap in his cart and gets killed trying to take a crossroads protected by a German cannon. He’s the highest ranking man buried in the famous cemetery behind the beach there in Normandy.

Getting to this video months late.. but i just saw in on my recommended :) bombing of civilian's is a war crime if they are the intended target. It's tragic that civilian's lose their lives in war, but when the enemy camps out in your back-yard, it makes your back-yard a target.. and nomater how well someone aims, there's always the risk of a shot hitting a window of the house behind that yard :T When it comes to the bombing done on D-Day, you have to take into account 3 things. 1) Bombing / navigating back then was done via time. Ie: Fly at this speed in this direction for X-minuts = your over your target. 2)The D-day bombings were done at night/early morning durring clowdy conditions and winds blown up by the storm, which would help throw off accuracy. 3) SOME of those bombers were mistaken for German bombers by US Ship crews and fired at (which would rattle even a seasoned bomber-crew). Quite a few things went into throwing off the accuracy of the bombing attacks, which ultimately made the 'successful' beach-landings even more amazing when you think about it, as they had to fight through fortifications they had hope would NOT be there. In the case of the city being hit. The City itself was NOT the target, but the German positions near it were.. but again... WWII accuracy of Night/Early Morning bombing + stormy areas threw off their navigation / aim.

The landing crafts, call Higgins boats were a special flat bottom boat that could come up and the beach, reliever the men and then reverse of the beach and go pick up more men.

It is without dispute that the men on the ground deserve all the recognition in the world for their most difficult of efforts on this day and the next days. One major thing that is always overlooked is the second most important factor, naval artillery. The navy and army cross trained men, and embedded naval specialists in with the ground forces. When the boots finally made it on the ground, they were able to call in precision artillery strikes with portable radios, the likes of which had never been seen before. Typical field artillery had been 3 to 6 inches maximum, with a short range. Naval artillery was 12, 14, and 16 inches, in 9 to 12 gun salvos, with a pinpoint accuracy up to 25 miles. Some american navy ships even flooded one side of their vessels to aim their guns higher and shoot further. Nice group of tiger tanks you have there. Itd be a shame if something happened to them..
