Again, welcome back to Nations Made Fun! I'll be your host, Mr. Nations, your tour guide to the world! Today we're going to be taking a look at one of the world's most devastating battles ever, the Battle of Normandy. Let's get straight into it!
The Battle of Normandy was a catastrophic battle that lasted from June 1994 to August 1944. The battle began when about 156,000 American, British, and Canadian soldiers landed on five beaches of the heavily fortified coast of France's Normandy region. The invasion was one of the largest amphibious military attacks in history. It required a massive amount of planning.
Aside from the amount of planning that went into D-Day, there was also a large deception project involved. The whole point of the operation was to fool the Germans into thinking that the invasion point was going to be Pas-de-Calais (the narrowest point between Britain and France.) Many tactics were used to deceive the Germans. They used fake equipment, a phantom army commanded by George Patton, double agents, and fraudulent radio transmissions, all of which worked.
