D-Day is Trending in America


Image result for d day

It happened on this day 73 years ago when the Allied Expeditionary Forces, under the overall command of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower stormed Normandy, France with 156,000 soldiers, some 4,000 ships and 11,000 airplanes in an attack code-named Operation Overlord against Nazi-controlled Western Europe.


The military general had his day so that it is today known as the D-Day (Dwight Day). The attack took Adolf Hitler aback, It was bloody but it paved way to the end of the WWII.

Gen. Dwight Eisenhower did not rule out the possibility of failure in the operation after the painstaking planning. He claimed responsibility for whatever that could have gone wrong in a note spotted in his wallet by an aide:

“Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air and the Navy did all that Bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault attaches to the attempt it is mine alone.”

The military leader that coordinated the attack would later become the 34th president of the United States.History Of Aguleri the Home Of Blessed Michael Iwene Tansi.
