D-Day

So I did a presentation on D Day.

Um, it was one of the bloodiest battles ever.

It was a very important part of winning World War

Two, and it was a very interesting, uh, two days

overall. Um, World War two started on September 1st, 1939.

It was because the German Nazis invaded Poland and occupied

it. Um, by the end of 1940 note that, um

uh, World War two started on, uh, September 1st 1939.

So by the end of 1940 practically like a year,

uh, they occupied Poland, Denmark, Norway, Belgium, the Netherlands, Luxembourg

and France.

So those are like some pretty major countries like Germany

is not like miss missing around here.

Um, it was the axis first.

The Allies, um, the Axis powers consisted of Germany, Italy

and Japan.

So they were enemies.

And the allies, which is what the U.

S. Was a part of was the U.

S. China Great Britain, Soviet Union in France before they

were occupied by Germany.

So originally they were allies with us.

This is a photo of German soldiers marching.

Um, how do I just amount?

Okay, um, the plan slash the goal.

The goal was to win back France because obviously, like

I said earlier, Germany occupied France at the time and

they were our ally and they were pretty big country

to take over.

So we really was very important for us to go,

um, and take over France.

We, um, would attack by land, by sea and by

air the men on the ships which were going by

sea. They would land on Normandy Beach.

Some certain aircrafts would bring paratroopers the night before.

So june 5th, 1944 and some aircraft would drop bombs

the day of D day after hopefully winning France, um,

we would plan to take back over Europe and hopefully

in the German Empire.

This is a photo of like, the goal almost, um,

the goal was to attack by land, by sea and

by air.

Like I said earlier, there were 6939 ships, 2395 aircrafts

and 867 glider planes.

The glider planes would bring the paratroopers like I said

earlier, that would eventually attacked by land.

Obviously, ships are attacking by sea and the aircraft's 2000

aircrafts are dropping bombs.

So we weren't messing around here.

So this is England.

Um, I don't know if you can see my mouse.

This is like the early hours of D Day.

This is what we are planning.

Do we take, like, four or five main chips, like

on the front line and we'd attack like this whole

little edge of France, which was the main goal the

night before we were gonna drop at 1:45 a.m. We

were going to drop off the paratroopers, and that's the

first thing that would happen.

And then, um, as the ships are rolling in, we'd

start dropping bombs, too.

So it wasn't really kind of a way out of

this, uh, in the top right corner of this picture.

It's kind of like a zoomed out version, but I'm

going to show you a better picture later.

Um, so you get a feel what I'm talking about

leading up to D Day.

So Japan bombs Um, the U.

S. Uh, December 7th, 1941 which was Pearl Harbor.

By the 1942 the Axis powers had all of Europe.

So we kind of needed to take it back.

Um 1943.

Italy surrenders to Germany, which is big because Italy was

a part of their group.

Like I said earlier, they were the Axis powers.

So and they're, uh, little guy over there gets assassinated.

The Allies are attempting to help take back their former

ally France.

That's the whole goal of this.

We want to get back France and then hopefully take

over Europe.

Um, the siege of Leningrad ends January, um, of 1940

for Soviet victory, which is good for us.

Since we were allies with them.

The US captures the Marshall Islands so very 1944 um,

Operation Tiger, which is the rehearsal, which I'm going to

talk about later.

Um, killed 749 soldiers.

April of 1944.

Um, today happens June 6th, 1944.

So about a month or two before that, this is

a photo of like, this is 1942.

Um, nothing really much changes from 1942 to 44.

They kind of did a lot the German Nazis and

the Axis powers.

They did a lot in 1942 but kind of started

to slow down as we entered the war and stuff.

It kind of got ramped back up in 1944.

So the blue is like the blue and the red

or the Allies.

Um, it's kind of just like we're not like we're

in the war, but we're not, like, super like with

the Soviet Union just yet.

The black is, um, the Axis powers, uh, Germany and

all of them.

You can see that they've and taken over practically all

of Europe, so and you can see the little blue.

Um, right there.

That's Britain, which we are allies with.

So that's how we're gonna attack France and get our

land back are really good.

For instance, um, Operation Tiger was the rehearsal for D

Day. Does that keep zooming in?

Okay, um, it went from April 22nd, um, to the

30th 1944.

It took eight days.

Um, Operation Tiger was the rehearsal and training to prepare

for D day.

Uh, the rehearsal took place and slapped in Sands.

Um, United Kingdom, uh, slept in Sands was the most

similar beach to Normandy, which was kind of like why

we picked it, uh, 749 soldiers were killed.

Like I said earlier, um, why does this keep sitting

in Normandy Beach is on the left and slept in.

Sands is on the right, as you can see there,

physical appearances Very similar.

This is where a map of where substance reigns is

so slept and sends us a little red and Normandy

beaches where the black arrow is.

So we're doing it on an ally territory.

We're rehearsing, Um, and it's obviously where we're going to

attack as Normandy Beach.

We're going to come over from Britain and attack the

German soldiers, so D day was called off and postponed.

Um, it was originally supposed to happen in May of

1944. They kind of like started.

It took, like, years to play in the day.

Um, so in, like, 1943 or 42 they were like,

planning this whole thing.

And they're like, we're gonna have it by May 1944.

But like, by the time 1944 came there, like, we're

probably not gonna have enough shit to do it.

So they called it off and rescheduled it for June

5th, 1944 on June 5th of 1940 for, uh, there

was a very thick fog.

So they called it off and delayed it till the

six. And it was given the name D Day because

of the extra, um, day stands for, um, the extra

D stands for day and military code.

It's kind of like it could they use, um, so

if you say like, D minus five means five hours

before D day or say, like d plus five, it's

like five hours after D Day.

So it's kind of like a quick way to, um,

talk. And this is a video I'm gonna show you

here. Mhm, um, army and Air Force means to build

our first airfields in France.

So, as you can see here, they're going by, Um,

see, like I talked about earlier land, sea and air.

So this is I'm going by sea.

Okay, this is around 6.

30 AM, when the skies were too great for useful

flying. Great Air forces.

Yep. This is the planes coming over.

These are the planes are going to drop the bombs,

and these are planes are dropping the paratroopers the night

before between or this was the bombs hit the trippers.

We did not miss around.

You'll see the statistics in the next couple of sides

of how many bombs were dropped in that stuff.

Like we were messing around.

We were dropping a lot of bombs and people bones

being dropped.

Mhm. Yeah.

Okay. And all the time, the sea and beaches were

alive with the activity of Anglo American invasion.

Mm. Tons of bombs being dropped.

Yeah. Trips being sought.

It's crazy.

Mhm. Mhm.

Mhm. Yeah.

Mhm. Mhm.

All right, so, um, stomach the video D day was

postponed, like I said, So this is like, actual d

day. Um, it happened June 6th, 1944.

It was also called, um, Operation Overlord or the Battle

of Normandy.

Or like the invasion of Normandy.

There's, like, 10 different names.

Wart. Um, paratroopers were dropped 1 a.m. June 6.

Like I talked about in the video previously, um, ships

arrive at Normandy beach at 6.

30. in the battle starts ballast for two days or

48 hours.

Um, 13,000 bombs dropped total and 29,000 people killed.

Total 180 bombs were dropped per hour.

604 people killed per hour and around 10 people killed

each minute.

So definitely very bloody battle.

Like I said earlier, this is how the ships were

going to attack.

Um, this is the first division fourth division, so there's,

like, everyone like British.

I'm sorry.

Britain, America and Canada were all attacking.

Um, Normandy Beach here.

Um, so that's the way the ships are going.

Um, here's the next photo.

This is where Normandy Beach is.

Uh, says the U K.

Like I talked about earlier, the U.

K is up here, and then there's France and were

attacking that little space.

Um, this is all occupied by Germany.

Like literally all of Europe practically is occupied by Germany.

So we're going to start off by taking, um, France

back to conquer Europe.

Second photo.

This is like where the planes were flying.

Um, the solid black line is USA planes and the,

uh, dotted black line is, uh, Britain's planes.

So we're attacking, and this is in a museum photo

later of like this little I don't know if you

can see my mouse, but it's like there's this little

peninsula right here, and it's gonna be on the right

side, and it's going to show you, Like where exactly?

We were bombing and dropping people off.

So all these circled areas, Um, this is where we're

gonna be bombing, and we're gonna be dropping.

We're gonna be bombing in the middle.

We're gonna be coming by sea, and then we're gonna

be dropping off towards the left.

Here. Paratroopers.

So if you're a German soldier, you're dead.

There's no way out of this.

Sorry. Another video.

This is like his speech on D Day about D

Day. Is it?

Now? I absolutely want to the wrong video.

But, um, here is Mm hmm.

Yeah, right.

I just want the wrong video again.

Soldiers, sailors and airmen of the Allied Expeditionary Force.

Mhm. You are about to embark upon the great crusade

toward which we have striven these many months.

The eyes of the world are upon you.

The hopes and prayers of liberty loving people everywhere march

with you in company with our brave allies and brothers

in arms on other fronts, you will bring about the

destruction of the German war machine, the elimination of Nazi

tyranny over the oppressed peoples of Europe and security for

ourselves in a free world.

So he's just saying that, like, we're worrying about America,

too. But, um, we're also going to go save the

people in Europe, and we're going to end the Nazi

journey. I don't get back here.

Here. Um, and lastly, my citations, Um BBC news history

dot com South Hams, Encyclopedia Britannica, Wikipedia armed conflicts, YouTube

from sky news.

So, um, obviously, we don't want history to repeat itself.

Um, d day was not a good day for really

anybody. Obviously, we did when many people died.

And we don't want to have to have this repeat

itself. It's not a good thing, And

D-Day
