Historical Background on D-Day
1.
D-Day: An Overview
13
Encyclopedia of Modern Europe
Extensive planning preceded the successes
of D-Day, the June
1944
Allied invasion of
Normandy, France. Known as Overlord, the
military operation was a major logistical
undertaking involving thousands of British,
US, and Canadian resources.
2.
The Events That Led to
the D-Day Invasion
20
Racine Journal-Times
A
1944
newspaper article reports on the
events and developments that took place
over several years that resulted in the long-
requested Allied invasion of western Europe
and the opening of the western front. Delay in
opening that front was attributed to a lack of
equipment.
3.
Prime Minister Churchill s D-Day Speech
25
Winston Churchill
In a
1944
address to the House of Commons,
the British prime minister announces that the
Allies have made the first of a series of land¬
ings on the coast of France.
4.
President Roosevelt Calls on the
Nation to Pray
30
Franklin D. Roosevelt
The president of the United States asks the
American people to join him in prayer in this
1944
radio speech. The prayer aired on D-Day
as Allied troops fought to establish beach¬
heads on northern Frances Normandy coast.
5.
D-Day: A Day of Surprises
34
Guardian
An article in a June
6,1944,
British newspaper
reports on two major surprises of D-Day
—
the
day the invasion took place and the scar¬
city of German fighter planes in the air over
the Normandy coast. It also details the Nazi
defense system.
6.
Allies Advance from the Beachheads
40
Mt. Vernon Register-News
An article from a
1944
US newspaper reports
on the D-Day landings in Normandy and the
Allied and German reactions. It offers praise
for the Allied efforts and successes throughout
the operation and comments on the inad¬
equacy of the German opposition.
7.
The Allies Clear the Normandy
Beachheads of Germans
50
Winnipeg Free Press
This article in a
1944
Canadian newspaper
reports on the inability of German forces to
combat the success of the Allied D-Day inva¬
sion. It discusses the casualties on both sides
and German claims of annihilation of British
and Anglo-American airborne divisions.

Controversies Surrounding D-Day
1.
The Invasion of Normandy Was
Not Necessary
59
William F. Moore
A US Air Force officer asserts in this
1986
research report that Operation Overlord, the
invasion of Normandy, was not necessary
for Allied military victory in Europe during
World War II. He contends that the operation
was a military gamble that very well might
have failed.
2.
D-Day Was Not a Mistake
69
Gordon Harrison
In a
1951
magazine article, a combat historian
explains that the primary mission in Europe
in World War II was to defeat Germany.
He maintains that the military view, politi¬
cally unchallengeable at the time, was that
the Allies had to fight in France to defeat the
Germans.
3.
The Allies Invaded France to Reach
Germany Ahead of the Soviets
78
Alexander Canduci
In a
2010
book, a historian contends that the
Allies did not invade France to help the Soviet
Union defeat Germany. He makes the case
that a primary goal of the Normandy invasion
was to prevent communism from gaining a
greater foothold in Europe.
4.
The British Prime Minister Was
Railroaded into D-Day
87
Max Hastings
In a
2009
newspaper article, a British historian
argues that Winston Churchill was against
US demands for an assault on the European
mainland. The result might have been very
different if Churchill s machinations had been
able to overcome the American resolution to
ensure the operational timetable for D-Day.
5.
Stalin Did Not Really Want a Second
Front in
1944 97
Murray Sager
A contributor to a Canadian magazine specu¬
lates in
2009
on why the Soviet leader contin¬
ued to call for a second front when it was no
longer logical. Stalin was devious and would
have done so not for the sake of all the Allies
but for the Soviet Union alone, he says.
6.
D-Day Was Predominantly a
British Operation
104
Ken Ford
In a
2009
British newspaper article, a military
historian proclaims that D-Day was a tri¬
umph for the United Kingdom. He contends
that the misleading Americanization of the
Normandy landings is due in great part to
movies and television shows.
7.
Americans Played the Major Role in the
Breakout Battle of Normandy 111
Christopher Bellamy
A defense correspondent for a British news¬
paper asserts in
1994
that the United States
played a more prominent and decisive role in
D-Day than the British. He maintains that this
was due in great part to American mobility,
adaptability, flexibility, and ingenuity.
8.
Leadership Differences Contributed
Greatly to the Outcome of D-Day
118
ƒ.
Justin Gustainis
An academic and author contends in a
2004
article that one of the major factors in the
Allied D-Day victory was the masterful lead¬
ership and on-target decisions of the Allied
commander, Dwight D. Eisenhower. German
leadership, on the other hand, was lacking in a
number of areas.
9.
D-Day Was the Beginning of the End
for Nazi Germany
128
Nation
A
1944
article from an American magazine
contends that the battle of Normandy was
Germany s last chance to end World War II
victoriously. Even though his military was
defeated at Normandy, Nazi leader Adolf
Hitler was not ready to give in and the war
was not at an end.

An Infantry Soldier Reflects on D-Day
137
Robert
Rogge

preparation for D-Day. He describes the land¬
ing on Juno Beach and shares his feelings
about the German opposition.
2.
A German Officer Serves in Normandy
146
Hans
von
Luck
A thirty-two-year-old major in the German
army describes the scene on the Normandy
coast as he and his men await an Allied inva¬
sion. He relates his frustration and growing
anger at not receiving clearance from the
German High Command for a counterattack.
3.
A Journalist Goes Airborne with the
Allied Forces
151
David Woodward
A British war correspondent describes the
scene he observed in England as a British

he observed in France after landing with the
paratroopers in one of the gliders and talks
about the French and German reactions to the
Allied landing.
4.
A Normandy Teen Experiences the
Invasion Firsthand
158
Louis
de Vallevielle
A nineteen-year-old Frenchman relates what

that gripped his family when paratroopers,
prepared to attack the guns, mistook his older
brother for a German.
5.
A German Paratrooper Prepares for
an Attack
164
Martin Poppel
A lieutenant in the German army documents
his thoughts and activities on four days in
June
1944.
He describes his frustrations, the
problems he and his men encounter, and the
actions they take before they realize the Allies
have an edge and they must withdraw from
their advanced positions.
6.
An American Soldier Remembers
Omaha Beach
172
Chuck Hurlbut
A US battalion member recalls what he did
and how he felt on the ship taking him to the
beaches of Normandy. He describes the excite¬
ment and tension of the landing and the chaos
and catastrophe he encountered on Omaha
Beach.
7.
A Journalist Takes a Walk Along an
Invasion Beach
180
Ernie
Pyle
A war correspondent describes the sights he
encountered on a mile-and-a-half-long walk
on the Normandy beach. He laments the
waste, the destruction, and the carnage, and
tells how the sight of German prisoners of
war standing high on a bluff staring out to sea
affects him.
