HORUS Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 I read a book on D-Day, and there's a part that explains how American forces attacked a German camp that didn't even know there was an invasion going on. The Germans were half dressed and eating breakfast as Americans broke down the door to the cafeteria and took 145 POWs. That story made me lol. Also, 3 Americans overtook a building in which 36 Germans were camping in a 2 minute siege. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Germans were left so thoroughly confused as to where the invasion will take place until they saw the armada appear off the Normandy beaches. Only one person on the German side was able to correctly predict where the invasion would take place, but his advice was ignored: Field Marshal Erwin Rommel.

ragnarok1945 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Yes and it was a bloodly battle Problem is it's viewed WAY too heavily from the allies POV.

ragnarok1945 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 See contrary to what the allies thought in how powerful the Atlantic Wall was, in reality the wall was utter crap. Only in the Calais region did it even come anywhere NEAR as formatable as the allies thought it would be. In Normandy it was just a few lines of unfinished concrete blockhouses and barbed wire. In fact when Rommel first saw the wall he felt the wall was only considered impregnable by German propaganda terms. He personally felt it'll be lucky if it can even hold the allied landing for more than 24 hours. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ragnarok1945 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Well at the end of the day only Omaha beach was still in critical condition. And while all the other beaches penetrated in land far less than expected (most barely a mile), the fact remains that the wall was breached. Remember, the German divisions facing them were utter crap quality. In fact at Utah beach the 716th division to oppose the American landings were actually made up of hiwis, Russian POWs who volunteered to fight for the German army. The only division that was actually a combat veteran division was the 352nd, which stood directly in the path of the American units and Omaha beach.

ragnarok1945 Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 *shrugs* I just happen to watch a LOT of documentaries on WWII, though not as much in the Normandy campaigns. You know the beach expansions could have been much greater had it not been for one thing: the plains behind them. Hitler was so confident that the Atlantic wall could stop the allies that he barely ordered any defenses behind the beaches if the wall is breached. But Rommel refused to take that chance and flooded the plains behind the beaches and as a result the terrain became one giant muddy pit, unsuitable for allied tanks and vehicles to cross. Without that support, the infantry couldn't exploit the breaches made. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
