How did the D Day landings succeed? With so many Allies dead, many shot before they even stepped foot on the beach, how in the world did enough Allies get past the machine guns and Nazis and win the decisive victory of WWII? Was it the airborne landings, the Maquis? Pillboxes,75 mm guns, there was so much stacked against them. Did they know how bloody it was going to be, and how many of them were going to die? Obviously, it's war, and sacrifices had to be made, but it was just murder as soon as they stepped on the beach. How many actually survived to capture St.Lo, Carentan, Caean, and Bayeaux?
