D-Day Landing Preperations?

Question

If You were Britain's leader at the time how would you prepare/do the d-day landings
one side of a4 plz

Answer 1

If I were Britain's leader I would not have wanted to make the cross channel landing at all. The UK high command and Churchill both wanted the "soft underbelly" of the Europe to be the target. The US were the ones that pushed for and got the cross channel strike. Which would have been best. Hard to say at this point. We night have ended the war quicker going with Britain's plan.

Answer 2

Operation Underlord,code name for D-Day went better than some thought it would.American paratroopers jumped in the night before and did a fine job even with all the miss-drops and loss of gear they still had a great impact on the invasion.We also took the two most heavily defended beaches,Omaha and Utah....The Brits and Canadians took,Sword,Juno and Gold beaches.

Answer 3

With hind sight I'd change all landing craft so they where covered on top with steel and unloaded from the rear.

With the same knowledge of the day ----nothing. It worked better than anyone thought it would.

Answer 4

well i think they did good the 1st time. so hopefully i would do the same do the same as they did in 1944. i would do what eisenhower and roosevelt said because they contributed the most to the invasion. the generals planned it more than the leaders.

Answer 5

I agree with Rek T; that addition to the landing craft boats (Higgins boats) would be extremely valuable, but with the knowledge of the time, I'd agree with Rek and say that they did pretty (extremely) well.

Answer 6

A leader didn't prepare it. Many, many people prepared it,more than you'd ever think of.
