Before the Invasion(Example of what not to do)

• During the first six months of 1944, the United States and Great Britain gathered and trained land, naval, and air forces in England.

• At the same time, the Soviet Union tied down a great portion of the enemy forces.

• Allied airplanes photographed enemy defenses, dropped supplies to the resistance, bombed railways, and attacked Germany’s industries.

Project Overlord• Operation Overlord was a huge assault on Normandy

beaches in France. • It was the largest focused military operation of all time. • Developments such as nuclear weapons and missiles

make it unlikely that such a concentration of ships and assault troops will ever be assembled again.

• Operation Overlord nearly failed due to weather, operational errors, and stiff resistance by well prepared German forces.

• In the end, Overlord succeeded, the Allies surged into France, and the fate of Hitler's Third Reich was sealed.

Purpose of D-Day• After Germany invaded most of Europe, the

Allies determined that Germany had to be defeated.

• Germany had killed millions and was willing to spread it's fear of foreigners to even more of the world and considered England to be the next target.

• Had Germany just left England alone for a while, Hitler would have probably succeeded in his quest for power.
