D-Day
By: Ellie Renee Duncan Most people think D-Day is a day that we freed France. This is true , however, there is much more to it. Many soldiers deceased, and people lost loved ones. One of the bloodiest battles in World War II was on June 6, 1944 on Omaha , Juno, Gold, Sword, and Utah beaches to free France from the Nazis ' and make them surrender.(D-Day by Martha Brack Martin) People have been told that the cause of the war was because Hitler believed in the perfect race. This may be true, but others have different reasons. Dwight D. Eisenhower entered the war to help plan for D-Day and lead them into the war. He was responsible for the whole thing. Franklin Roosevelt may have helped and same with Winston Churchill. Hitler wanted

He took control of Austria and invaded Poland on September 1,1939, so Europe started to fight. He wanted to destroy and take over Russia quickly, but they fought back. America entered the war in 1941. He sent all the Jews he could find to concentration camps. They had barbed wire, and you had to do labor then they starved you and they said you were going to take a shower but genuinely they put poisonous gas in the shower head and killed them. Some of his military leaders tried to assassinate him but failed including Rommel, which was forced to take poison in doing so. He killed about 5,000 people that he thought were involved in the plot. He married Eva Braun and blamed everyone but himself for the war and the next day Eva drank poison and Hitler shot himself. That pretty much meant the Nazis had to surrender. Rommel was in charge of the Axis Powers military. Dwight D. Eisenhower had to make the call whether to hold off on D-Day for a while or do on June 6, 1944 because there were terrible storms. He didn 't like it, but it had to be June 6th. This was also Rommel 's wife 's birthday, and since there were storms he felt safe. Besides he wanted to spend time with his family on his day off. "U.S. President Franklin D. Roosevelt, Soviet leader Joseph Stalin, and British Prime Minister Winston Churchill were responsible for leading their nations to victory and jointly planned strategies for the cooperation and eventual success
D-Day happened on June 6 1944, We invaded normandy beach, There were over 425 thousand allies and germans killed or injured or just ran away.
Once in power Hitler quickly established himself as dictator. He started hauling off thousands of anti-Nazis to concentration camps. The economy, the media, and all cultural activities were brought under Nazi authority by making an individual’s livelihood dependent on their political loyalty. His desire was to establish German rule over Europe and other parts of the world. He realized that this would lead to a European conflict and so he started his plan to conquer Europe by invading Poland in 1939 and started World War ll . The war started off good for the Germans but once the United States entered the war they started to lose. As time passed, defeat became more certain, but Hitler refused to give up. Finally with all of Germany overrun by Allied
On the 6th of June 1944, Operation Overlord began to free France from the Nazi German army. The invasion and liberation of France from Nazi Germany was a pivotal battle in the Second World War. This stems primarily from the extensive use of the Field Artillery throughout the battle. Many of the tactics and equipment used during the largest amphibious assault in history, are directly related to the current American artillery arsenal and how the United States uses that weaponry on the battlefield today.
In the early 1930's during Hitler's uprising, he began to sweep throughout Europe seeking out nations to conquer and add to his already growing German empire. He used the Soviets distrust of the western nations to form a temporary alliance and take over Poland. France, and Britain would soon join the battle against one of the most powerful and destructive European powers.
D-day or operation overload started during world war II on June 6, 1944. D-day is the day that North America stormed the beaches of Europe to take back the land from the Germans. D-day, we landed on the beaches of Normandy to recapture Europe one step at a time.
The cause of D-day is during Adolf Hitler rose to power, just after he built up a powerful army he stamped out democracy. Japan signed an agreement with Germany. England, France declared war on Germany. US president Franklin Roosevelt declared war on Japan,Germany, and Russia. Overnight, the nation (America) turned itself into a war factory.
Britain and France desperately awaited the moment when the US would fully join in the fighting in Europe during World War II, and D-Day brought that full fledged involvement. If not for the efforts of the United States of America, its cooperation and planning with its allies, the invasion would not have been successful. It was successful, however, due to previous planning, the level of supplies and men from the US combined with the European allies, as well as the divided German forces. D-Day was the beginning of liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control. Hitler had known that in order for the Allies to be successful, there would have to be an invasion of mainland Europe - which his forces controlled most of - and that it would come from northwestern Europe, with Great Britain being the jumping off point. But if he was expecting the attack, why was he not better prepared? The planning that had gone into the invasion at the beaches of Normandy on the coast of France had been thorough and extensive, with a large part of that planning being the intentional disinformation about the location of the invasion, thus fooling the Nazi leader. These factors explain why Operation Overlord was successful, and thus became the turning point in the world war.
On September 1, 1939, Adolf Hitler invaded Poland. This led to a widespread war across many nations. This war was later called World War II. Before Germany invaded Poland, both America and Germany were going through a Great Depression. In the war, there were two sides, The Allies,(including America and
Beginning in May 1940 Hitler occupied Northwestern France to grow his nation and wipe out all of the Jews. This was an early start to D-Day because France was one of the U.S.’s Allies during World War II. D-Day forced the Germans to fight a two way war just like in World War I (mtholyoke). The Germans could not handle a war on both sides of them (mtholyoke). By D-Day 157 German divisions were stationed in the Soviet Union, 6 in Finland, 12 in Norway, 6 in Denmark, 9 in Germany, 12 in the Balkans, 26 in Italy and 59 in France, Belgium and the Netherlands (Wikipedia the free encyclopedia). D-Day was started on
D-Day was one of the most important days in US history. On June 6th, 1944, in the midst of WW2, allied forces consisting of American, French, British, Canadian, Australian, and many more armies, initiated the largest naval invasion in world history. It took years of planning, bloodshed, and espionage. This invasion would land hundreds of thousands of Allied forces onto Nazi Germany’s territory, meaning they could fight the Germans head on. D-Day allowed allied forces to gain massive amounts of ground and force Germany into a 2 front war with the Soviet Union. Without D-Day, it is hard to say what Europe would look like today.
This gave him a major hold over Germany as a whole, and he had a very cruel mindset: the Jews and people of inferiority have to be executed. It remains a possibility that his true view of the Jews were not as barbaric before he rose to the dictatorship, but regardless, he used his position to perform the Holocaust. The Holocaust has been hailed as the Bloody Mary of all genocides, considering that it has left the largest mark on history. Six million jews and other groups of people were exterminated. Hitler is not the only leader guilty of this, other people like Josef Stalin, Saddam Hussein, and Fidel Castro were also prominent figures who did some very questionable things.
D-Day was a major part in the ending of World War II. If the Allies hadn’t won the Battle of Normandy, they may not have succeeded in the fight against the Nazis. The Battle of Normandy is more commonly known as D-Day. D-Day is the day (June 6, 1944) in World War II on which Allied forces invaded northern France by means of beach landings in Normandy, France. In the summer of 1943, an early copy of the D-Day plans blew out of a window in the Norfolk House, London.
D-day is and was one of the greatest allied invasions in the history of the world.Troops from all over took place in this invasion.In fact more than 160,000 allied troops took place in the invasion.It started all when Nazi Germany invaded France.They were on a path of destruction. D-DAY actually started on June 5, 1944. People just think it took place on June 6, 1944. This is just not as known. 5 beaches were invaded by the allies.The beaches were sword,Juno,gold,Omaha,and Utah.Canada,America,and Britain would divide the beaches into in the assault.America would take 2,Britain would take 2,and Canada would take 1.This was the battle plan.There were 9,000 allied casualties.It was worth it though.The beaches had finally been taken in the end.The
D-Day, or Operation Overlord as it is often known, is by far the most significant event and the most important turning point at the end of World War Two, and perhaps even in the whole of 20th Century military history. The fact that it was the largest naval, air and land invasion in history certainly speaks for itself, but this is by no means the only reason why D-Day was significant. There were certainly other tremendously significant events as the war came to a close – such as Stalingrad or El Alamein - though nothing quite compared to D-Day. D-Day was immensely significant to the end of the World War Two for many reasons, one of the biggest and perhaps most important being the fact that Hitler was forced into fighting a two-front war. By
