(Example of what not to do)
• During the first six months of 1944, the United
States and Great Britain gathered and trained
land, naval, and air forces in England.
• At the same time, the Soviet Union tied down a
great portion of the enemy forces.
• Allied airplanes photographed enemy defenses,
dropped supplies to the resistance, bombed
railways, and attacked Germany’s industries.

Project Overlord
• Operation Overlord was a huge assault on Normandy
beaches in France.
• It was the largest focused military operation of all time.
• Developments such as nuclear weapons and missiles
make it unlikely that such a concentration of ships and
assault troops will ever be assembled again.
• Operation Overlord nearly failed due to weather,
operational errors, and stiff resistance by well prepared
German forces.
• In the end, Overlord succeeded, the Allies surged into
France, and the fate of Hitler's Third Reich was sealed.

Purpose of D-Day
• After Germany invaded most of Europe, the
Allies determined that Germany had to be
defeated.
• Germany had killed millions and was willing
to spread it's fear of foreigners to even more
of the world and considered England to be
the next target.
• Had Germany just left England alone for a
while, Hitler would have probably succeeded
in his quest for power.
