War tactics and straTegy
D-Day was the largest and most complex invasion of its time. It was unparallel to anything like it.
Operation Overload (overall) had a total of 3 million men divided between 47 divisions. These men were moved by either the 6,000 or the 5,000 fighter planes. The Allies had an estimated 10,000-15,000 casualties. The United States of America had 6,603 soldiers killed, missing, or wounded. Britain had between 2,500 and 3,000 casualties. While Canada had only 946. The Germans suffered about 4,000-9,000 casualties. The major casualties only occurred at Juno and Omaha.
D-Day was a change or turning point in war planning, tactics and strategy,because it was larger and more complex than anything like it. Also it was a turning point in WWII, because it put the Allies the lead instead of the Germans.
