The Normandy invasion was supposed to happen on June fifth but because of the weather they had to move it to June sixth. The weather that General Eisenhower wanted was low tides, no overcast, light winds and calm seas. But the weather on June fifth was cloudy, rapid seas, and high winds. June sixth was a better day. It wasn't as good as they had hoped but it was good enough. The waves were pretty high and some of the boats went off course. Most of the paratroopers didn't land where they supposed to. But they did the best they could and their best prevailed.
I am really enjoying your blog postings! Thanks! How did you decide to do it?
ReplyDeleteLuke, so how are you feeling now that you're a world traveller? Do you recommend it? Is it hard? Harder than being a student in Peoria?
