D-Day preparation was fraught with tension as military leaders worked meticulously to mislead Germany. In the days leading up to the invasion, strict censorship was in place, punishing those who leaked details. The Allies employed tactics such as using fake tanks and trucks to confuse German forces. As dawn broke on June 6, 1944, Allied troops landed on Normandy's beaches amidst chaos and smoke, initiating one of history's pivotal battles. The loss of lives was significant, marking a crucial turning point in World War II.

D-Day By : Donté B., Victor B., and Jordan B.
THE DAYS BEFORE D-DAY • The days before the invasion were very stressful. The press was cutout and all letters were searched. If you said anything about d-day. There would be pain and torture. This general was demoted three ranks for saying it would be before June15. There was a man with a briefcase who got bombed before d-day. As you can see America was stressed because of the d-day invasion.
THE SETUP FOR D-Day The plan was to throw Germany Off by setting up rubber tanks and trucks. Then after the fake tanks were in position it drew Germany away from the north. At the time spies were giving Germany info about D-Day.
THE INVASION • Around 3a.m the allies arrived at Germany. A little later allied pillboxes started shooting. Then there was nothing but smoke. That was what was planned so Germany started firing back. Then ground troops went to the beaches and gave backup.
