Why did it take you 5 years to join the party?

Because they wanted to shaft Britain first by expecting the UK to pay for them. It worked too, because of WW2, Britain lost an empire and gained massive debts. Most of Britain's woes since, including the present day can be traced back to the war.
Even Churchill said after the war that if he could chose he would be an American because he knew that the UK had also effectively lost the war.

Didn’t know that.

Yes...the war that wouldn't have been won if thw US wasn't sending our young men to fight for your ground and our factories pumping armements out 24/7 to support the cause. Our entire country was dedicated to do our best to help win.

On D-Day, the Allies landed around 156,000 troops in Normandy. The American forces landed numbered 73,000

The Allied casualties figures for D-Day have generally been estimated at 10,000, including 2500 dead. Broken down by nationality, the usual D-Day casualty figures are approximately 2700 British, 946 Canadians, and 6603 Americans. However recent painstaking research by the US National D-Day Memorial Foundation has achieved a more accurate - and much higher - figure for the Allied personnel who were killed on D-Day. They have recorded the names of individual Allied personnel killed on 6 June 1944 in Operation Overlord, and so far they have verified 2499 American D-Day fatalities and 1915 from the other Allied nations, a total of 4414 dead (much higher than the traditional figure of 2500 dead).

The breakdown of US casualties was 1465 dead, 3184 wounded, 1928 missing and 26 captured. Of the total US figure, 2499 casualties were from the US airborne troops (238 of them being deaths). The casualties at Utah Beach were relatively light: 197, including 60 missing. However, the US 1st and 29th Divisions together suffered around 2000 casualties at Omaha Beach.

The total German casualties on D-Day are not known, but are estimated as being between 4000 and 9000 men.

Naval losses for June 1944 included 24 warships and 35 merchantmen or auxiliaries sunk, and a further 120 vessels damaged.

Over 425,000 Allied and German troops were killed, wounded or went missing during the Battle of Normandy. This figure includes over 209,000 Allied casualties, with nearly 37,000 dead amongst the ground forces and a further 16,714 deaths amongst the Allied air forces. Of the Allied casualties, 83,045 were from 21st Army Group (British, Canadian and Polish ground forces), 125,847 from the US ground forces. The losses of the German forces during the Battle of Normandy can only be estimated. Roughly 200,000 German troops were killed or wounded. The Allies also captured 200,000 prisoners of war (not included in the 425,000 total, above). During the fighting around the Falaise Pocket (August 1944) alone, the Germans suffered losses of around 90,000, including prisoners.

Today, twenty-seven war cemeteries hold the remains of over 110,000 dead from both sides: 77,866 German, 9386 American, 17,769 British, 5002 Canadian and 650 Poles.

Better late than never.

WW2 began in 1939.
Soviets fought Nazi since 1941. By the time D-day happen Reds were taking over Poland and kicking German's ass all over Eastern front. Little bit of history for you, son.

Yes...the European war began in '39...the U.S. entered in '41...which is two years not five years...sport. The U.S. fought the Germans in Norh Africa...Sicily, and opened up the Italian front which was still being fought when D-Day took place and in fact was still being fought untill the Germans surrendered. A little hisory lesson for you kid...thank you very much.

Just wanted to keep the record straight.

Don't forget the Canadian effort. Over the course of the war, 1.1 million Canadians served in the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Of these more than 45,000 lost their lives and another 54,000 were wounded. Additionally, the Canadian Merchant Navy completed over 25,000 voyages across the Atlantic.Canadians also served in the militaries of various Allied countries.

By D-Day, June 6, 1944, the landings at Normandy were accomplished by two beachheads made by the American forces at Omaha and Utah, two by British forces, Sword and Gold, and the final was a Canadian effort at Juno with the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division penetrating farther into France than any other Allied force. After the Normandy landings a Canadian spearhead drove northeast into the Netherlands, where the Canadians liberated that nation.

D-day wasn't about fighting Nazis, it was about protecting Europe from communism.

We are talking about D-day and Europe. US waited until 1944. Doing it in 1941 would have helped a lot more.

The "Big Three"...Roosevelt...Churchill and Stalin all agreed in '43 on when the so called "Second Front"/D-Day would begin. The Soviets did not even take back the entirety of their country until after D-Day began.

By 1944 it was pretty much over. Nazi’s lost their Russian campaign and was getting their asses kicked on Eastern Front. No disrespect to those that fought but come on.

The U.S./Allies had entire German Armies tied down in Italy and France...for years...so the Soviets may very well have lost if these German Armies would have been free to engage them.

Oh, I see. After 3 years of fighting Germans who got within 60 mile range of Moscow, Russians kick them all the way back to Germany and that’s when they suddenly have a change of heart and surrender so Germans can take over Soviet empire. Good one.

The German military suffered around 2,800,000 killed. Of these around 2,000,000 died on the Eastern Front, 300,000 died on other fronts, and 500,000 died in captivity.

You really are not very bright...now are you sport? If the U.S./Allies did not have entire German Armies tied down...in North Africa...Sicily...Italy and France...a very high level of possibility exists that the Soviets would not have been able to take back their country from the Germans let alone push into Germany.

Romel had 150 000 people army in N. Africa during Desert Fox. Anywhere from 2.8 to 4 million Germans DIED in E. front.

Once again you left off Sicily...Italy and France and the multiple German Armies that were engaging the U.S./Allies and thus were not able to engage the Soviets.

Good point. Most of the American firepower, manpower, and resources were in the Pacific Theater fighting the Japanese. Most of the heavy lifting in the European Theater was done by the Soviet Red Army.

Not to diminish D-Day and everything--it was a momentous day. However, I'm making the point above for perspective.

The U.S. policy was Europe first the Pacific war second...so you are not correct...the bulk of war materials went to Europe. When the U.S. entered the war the Soviets were losing against the Germans...and did not entirely take their country back until after D-Day began.

PenisFace · 06-07-2010, 12:54 PM

The soviets won world war 2. Granted, hitler was kind of a tard and was far too obsessed with the eastern campaign, which turned into a damned nightmare and drained men and resources. But still, you can thank the soviets for helping the germans fall the their knee's.
