In this book report I read the book D-Day and tells u about the
            
             time before and the grueling battles that led up to the most
            
             memorable and most important day of this century, June 6, 1944, that
            
             was D-Day. Also I will mention key points and describe to you what
            
             intricate planning and grueling strategy that out smarted the German
            
             forces.
            
             What really decided the outcome of the war was determined by
            
             three things the number of allies, the number of soldiers that where
            
             positioned right so that they could defend each area equally, but the
            
             problem with the German forces was that they conquered so much
            
             land that they couldn't defend it all and that was one main reason the
            
             they lost the war. The last main reason was who had more and better
            
             weaponry. Which the Germans had a big advantage for the first part of
            
             the war. The weapons that they had was the V-2, it was the worlds
            
             first medium-range ballistic missile, it wasn't military weapon at all,
            
             but a terrorist device. They also had invented the ME-262 twin jet
            
             fighter ready for serial production. Its cruising speed was 520 miles
            
             per hour, more than 120 miles an hour faster than any plane the allies
            
             could send against it, and it mounted four 33mm canon it was known
            
             as the Blitz Bomber . When Hitler saw the 262's capabilities he was
            
             very impressed, but he wanted something that could bomb London.
            
             Another big thing that the Germans used was the B-17 bombers. Hitler
            
             was very pleased with them and they were perfect for the 262's to
            
             escort them. For example Hitler used the B-17 at the raid of the Berlin
            
             March. He used 1,250 B-17 and had 14 groups of jet fighters (262's)
            
             and he didn't lose not one plane.
            
             The Americans on the other hand had some weapon advantages
            
             that had been invented by the British, an American ally, that proved
            
             good in the long run such as...
