The US 1st Army landed 73,000 men on D-Day. The British 2nd Army landed over 83,000. In terms of achieving the D-Day goals the best results were achieved at Juno Beach (Canadian/British) and Gold Beach (British.) The worst progress was at Omaha Beach (US,) where the D-Day objectives were not achieved until D+3. To describe the landings as "the Americans overpowered them and started moving through France" is frankly nonsense. --[[User:SamRSC|SamRSC]] 11:51, 18 November 2011 (EST)

"...was the only Allied leader feared by the Germans." I can answer that absurd claim with a single word: Zhukov. --[[User:SamRSC|SamRSC]] 11:54, 18 November 2011 (EST)
