Question

if you could plz tell me, what were the keys to allied victory in D-day or at least a good web page where i can find out by myself i would be very gratefull

i mean what was what helped the allies win the D-Day battle.

Answer 1

A huge number of factors went into D Day's success. First a very highly educated, phsyically fit invading force of men capable of making decisions on the battlefield without always needingorders from higher ranking officers. A huge supply of resources stockpiled in England, available readily through a huge flotilla of supply ships and two artificial harbors. Air superiority that allowed complete domination of the sky, keeping German fighters and bombers away from the beaches and allowing huge bombing raids to take place up and down the French coast. A huge force of naval ships pounding the beaches with artillery and keeping the German guns occuppied. Battleships raised from wreckage at Pearl Harbor brought guns to bear on the French coast, of the size that Germans coldn't match. A huge deception campaign, which had General Patton leading the assualt, fake radio transmissions, inflatable decoy tanks to make forces look larger and stronger than possible. All leading the Germans to expect the landings to take place in Calais. The Resistance movement which coordinated attacks on rail lines and points of congestion to slow the German counterattack. The exceptionally tight security at all levels which although stretched never broke.
The German armys reliance on permission from the Fuhrer to move troops and bring up heavy tanks and reinforcements. Those orders came too late because the Fuhrer couldn't be distrurbed. Most imprortantly the bravery of American, British and Canadian and Free French forces.

Answer 2

1. Allied air superiority

2. Hitlers order to withhold panzer reserves expecting an attack at the Pas De Calais area.

3. French resistance sabatoage efforts

4. Allied airborne landing cutting off key bridges and access points for german counter attackes.

5. Allied overwhelming resources in men and material, including tanks.

Answer 3

The Germans were fooled into thinking the landing in Normandy was a diversion and the main landing would be in Calais.

They also believed there would be an invasion in the South of France, from Africa. (see the book Man With No Name)

A huge amount of Nazi armour was held in reserve for the imagined second invasion

Air Superiority.

Once the bridgehead was established it was too late.

Rommel wanted them to repulse them on the beaches, knowing that if the Allies made a bridgehead there would be no halting the disembarking mass of men arms and ammo.

As there was no harbour there, the Allies brought one with them.

The allies constructed huge reels of pipe for fuel to pump fuel under the channel using carefully disguised pumping stations
Think of a reel of Cotton and multiply it by thousands

Answer 4

Your figures for the D-Day American casualties are grossly overstated. on an analogous time as Omaha coastline observed the worst casualties between the invading rigidity, the different american coastline , Utah replaced into rather much a walkover. the three jap seashores of Sword, Juno and Gold have been heavily defended however the fundamental element relating to the excellent invasion replaced into the element of marvel and , different than for Omaha the defenders have been off the seashores till now the defenders ought to react in great numbers. Air and naval superiority have been different decisive factors. the 1st troops the land on D-Day have been in a glider rigidity of British commandos who captured a considered necessary bridge and destroyed the Merville battery. The bridge continues to be preserved alongside a D-Day museum. flow there and see it . this is an guidance.

Answer 5

An overwhelmingly large naval armada backed up by a huge amount of munitions and materiel in England, just 40 miles away.

Answer 6

continus bombing before landing, destroying strong german defence( not all)

paratrooper was sent to take over bridges german area etc...(day before invasion)

la resistance's help made information to go through in allied sides.

german knew they were looseing, and many of the smart ones surrendered.

mass landing. ( first 4 to 5 of the landing troops never even got out of their higgins boats, but later ones did manage to get on)

Answer 7

DECEPTION: OPERATION FORTITUDE
If you do not know, look it up.
This is what helped The Americans, Canadians, and English win at Normandy.

Answer 8

The paratroopers. The bombing. They also bombed the hell out of one place to distract them so they would think they were attacking there. I dont really understand the question...

Answer 9

To sum it up pretty simply, the US and allied forced went in and whooped some nazi @ss, god bless our boys! Stupid commies...YEEEE HAW

Answer 10

These should keep you going for a while
