More Significance?

   Overall D-day was very significant and something to be very proud of for Americans.
General Dwight Eisenhower had a very hard task. He moved his forces 100 miles over the English Channel, and storm a heavily fortified coastline and his enemy being a weapon and tank superior German army commanded Erwin Rommel, one of the most brilliant generals of the war. This was the first time the English Channel had been crosses since 1688. Much military intelligence was important for the invasion in Normandy.The occupation of Normandy was crucial for the Western Allies to bring the war to the western border of Germany. If the Normandy invasion had not occurred, there could have been a complete possession of northern and western Europe by Soviet forces, therefore D-day was and still to this day is a very significant battle.
