Conrad, D-Day, 1993 Summary: Stein reports in his book about the harsh truth of war telling about United States discussing a large scale invasion across the English Channel. The Allies assembled huge amounts of equipment and great numbers of troops for this operation in southern England. Throughout 1943, preparations moved ahead for this invasion which was led by General Dwight D. Eisenhower. The Germans expected an Allied invasion along the north coast of France in 1944. Hitler strengthened German defenses along the English Channel. He brought in artillery and mined the water and the beaches. They placed many troops near the city of Calais in the narrowest part of the channel. But the Allies led by Eisenhower chose to invade the beaches of Normandy on the fifth of June in 1944. But it was later postponed to the sixth due to rough seas. During the night, final preparations where made; over 176,000 men where loaded on to 2,700 ships all knowing of what was ahead for them. invasion, stein, written, marshal, gave, article, view, very, two, troops, normandy, great, different, channel, about, water, war, views, though, stein’s, preparations, points, personal, out, night, marshall, made, led, information, hand, first, facts, fact, english
