DDay Success or Disaster
Twenty years after the end of the First World War a man named Adolph Hitler of Germany began a Second World War. On September 1, 1939 Germany invaded Poland, which had a treaty with France and England to protect them. The English, French and Polish were all unprepared to fight, and as a result were beaten terribly. By the next spring France had been totally taken by the Germans. While Germany and there allies, Italy, controlled all of the western part of Europe. England, France and now America had to figure a way to take the control of Europe again. There decision was to try and storm a beach in Normandy France. It would be one of the bloodiest war battles in U.S. History. This storming of Omaha Beach would be a success because even though the allies lost a lot of men, they still were able to take the beach, which led them to take the continent. This was the beginning of the end for Hitler and his Nazis. Hitler and his partners, Japan and Italy, made many mistakes, which opened the door for the allied forces to make this operation possible. Germany's big mistake was that Hitler had assembled a massive naval fleet to try and invade England. Hitler's thinking was that if he did try t
After the lost at Dieppe the allies luck changed and they began a string of winning battles. It was a mess once the troops began to land even thought he invasion was planned to go off perfectly. The Germans had no idea there was a break in the weather all they knew is what they say which was awful gray and ugly skies. The weather had to be good on one of those days or the attack would have to be postponed to the end of the month or even the next month. The beach only had four exits to get from the beach to the road and the Germans had them loaded with pillboxes, which have a small slot for the person which is inside to shoot out of and the soldier outside had a very small area to shoot the guy on the inside, they had concrete bunker for protection, and powerful automatic artillery. The men that day weren't fighting the Nazis or for their country they were fighting for two reasons, their lives and the lives of their comrades. The American troops stayed there until the month before the invasion. The main part of the deception plan was to make the Germans believe that the invasion would happen in the area of Pas de Calais area. It takes a lot of courage and bravery to continue to fight when you see hundreds of thousands of your fallen comrades on the beach. The third key point to success would be a little more difficult to accomplish however, keeping the place for the invasion a secret from the Germans. In 1941the British broke the German Secret Service codes. So to keep the deception alive there was a false group of troops to make it look like that was where the allies were coming.
