It’s easy to forget what a small area that was attacked. 115km is large for an invasion, but small in the scale of a continental invasion.

it’s crazy to think that 1944 was 81 years ago

150000 troops landed in the first day alone, making this the largest amphibious landing in history.

DDay map makers constantly insist on using the incorrect Canadian flag for the time period. Grinds my gears

Oh? I knew Canada were involved, I mean obviously as a British Dominion of Britain was in a war they were too, but I didn’t know they had their own D-Day landing. Huh. Cool. It’s a shame America tries to take the credit for all of it.

At the time was Canadians a separate military and not integrated whit the British?

Having studied D-Day ad nauseam I can say this map has a lot of inaccurate.
Namely the locations of Caen and Cherbourg. The delta of the Douve river separating Utah and Omaha isn’t like that and it’s not as big, there was more even distribution in the spacing between beaches with the exception of Gold and Juno
And just pointing a map to say THATs where the 6th airborne landed is a wholey oversimplification. Plus, if you’re gonna mention the 6th airborne , are you not going to put on the map the location of Pegasus Bridge?
And above all else, if you’re gonna put locations of the 6th and 82nd airborne, where is the 101st???

“82th”?

Fun fact; Juno beach was originally code named “Jelly Beach”. Winston Churchill thought that name was too silly given that hundreds of men were about to die on it, so it was changed.
