71st anniversary of the D-Day landings ( Primo Victoria )

[ThatRandomGuy]

Tomorrow will signify the 71st anniversary of Operation Neptune or just "D-Day". This amphibious invasion would result in the end to Fascist Germany's grip in France. Airborne troops were dropped in to secure intact bridges overnight and by 6:30 the Invasion had begun and troops were streaming onto the beachheads that were code named Utah, Gold, Omaha, Juno, and Sword beach.

An allied force of 156,000 men faced a Axis force of 50,350+ and the end result was 425,000 men dead, missing, or wounded.

Yep, "Victory to the First"

Added that to the name because of that song

I have a newspaper from the day after D-Day! I'll post pics if you like.

Probably one of the more interesting things from that battle was how they modified The Shermans to either act as submersible by driving on the sea floor toward the beach

They also made variants that had a collapsible skirt that would drift to short with a propeller

I would host my dday DM on blockland if I could fix the problems with it (mg42s too powerful, guns have infinite ammo, Germans push onto the beach, etc.)
