D-Day

The Breach of the German's Atlantic Wall that protected German Controlled Europe.

Allies side of D-day
On June 6, 1944, the invasion of Normandy, also known as Operation Overload, was a success. The allied forces were able to break through the German's heavy defended beaches. The German's so called invicible Europe Fortress was now breached with a hole. Combined with the gunfires and bombings of the naval and air forces, the allied troops were able to secure the beachs of Normandy and prepare for an attack on the Nazi controlled Europe.

As the troops stormed the beaches while taking incoming fire from the enemy defence, the US air force that consisted thousands of bombers that the luffewaft couldn't even try to stop bombed the defence lines in order to reduce the gunfire on the troops on beach. They slowly made progress inwards until the Germans couldn't hold the lines any longer. Then as the beaches were secured, reinforcements came as more troops poured onto the beaches for the future battles.

German View of D-day
The Germans lost the battle due to a few reasons. The first was that the Allies had superiority over the air space. The allies and skilled parachute jumpers and the coordination between the battleships and the ground troops was excellent. The allies had also reacted the invasion plan many times on british beachs and also that the allies had a lot of information on the beaches that were crucial to their positioning and strategic movements. The German's on the other hand had a few mistakes that could have been improved, the troops needed better camouflage of all kinds, a safer transport belt as one of the main targets of bombers was the rail. A strict control of the postioning of troops and also better means of communication.
