"D-Day is one of the largest-scale invasions to happen in military history."
"The scale of the land, air, and sea assets during D-Day was unprecedented."
"D-Day's success was far from guaranteed, and as a result, General Eisenhower famously wrote his 'In Case of Failure' message."
"At the height of the attack, the Allied air attack outnumbered the German Luftwaffe by more than 30:1."
On June 6, 1944, D-Day marked the start of Operation Overlord, where Allied forces launched an unprecedented invasion at Normandy. Over 5,000 ships and 150,000 troops participated in this crucial military operation, signaling a decisive stand against the Axis powers. Although it was a success, D-Day faced significant challenges and errors along the way, underscored by General Eisenhowerâs contemplative letter written in case of failure. A key factor in the operation's success was maintaining air superiority, with Allied air support vastly outnumbering German defenses.
