    Did we seriously have to fight the Germans? If we obliterated Japan I doubt Hitler would have cared enough to engage us

      The Germans declared war on the USA, not the other way around.

      Hitler called war on USA for some raisin. probably because they had already been in the fight against Germany for years using their behemoth industry and Nazis figured they would make it official sooner than later

    They did that too, the paratroops dropped the day before the seaborne assault on june sixth. I'm guessing you only posted this because you're a smooth brained zoomer out to shitpost.

    why do you people saving private ryan was a documentary. the beach didnt look like that, they weren't nearly as close to the germans as shown, and nobody took direct fire into the landing craft.
    jesus, barely 3k people died in the whole invbasion across 5 different landing spots and a mssive paratroop landing behind the coast the night before. even 2 minutes on wikipedia would tell you this.

      4.4k died in the first few hours and a total of 70k allies did during the entirety of the normandy invasion with another 150k wounded.

      At least learn to google before you spout dumb moron shit. The beach landings were huge.

    Paratroopers are by their nature always surrounded and must be quickly relieved by ground forces (preferably combined arms) in order to remain combat effective / alive. The only real exception is if they seize an airfield and establish and hold the airhead long enough for reinforcements, heavy tanks, supplies to be airlanded—easier said than done (see Russian VDV attacks on airports at the beginning of the current war).

    SVP is inaccurate, in the real D-day there weren't Germans in firing range of the beach. They got off the boats and advanced several yards, then started getting mowed down
