What was the point of this? Why not fly in behind the Germans and parachute in?

>An American U.S. Army private earned $50 a month.
wagies never change lol
this could feed a family of 4 and buy a house in the 1940s
the poor tiny hat people who can't defend themselves
hey man they were on the boats too
to shoot people refusing to leave
The wrong side if you walk to any surviving vet today.
>any vet
Not really.
even a lot of them, brass included, basically directly afterward
I'm pretty sure the Nazi party would collapse after Hitler's death in a few years. It would be even worse if the axis had won
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
Sour grapes
Well, Shicklegruber was a devout zionist, so yeah...we kind of had to.
> “Why didn’t they take the eagles to Berlin?”
They did use paratroopers, they all got lost and disorganized. Typical of American forces at the time
what tv show?? dumb zoomie
This entire site is bots
>bets replying to bots replying to bots
Literally why didn't they just land on another beach?
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 not fly in behind the Germans and parachute in?
plane would get shot down before anyone jumped out
we did that, too. we needed a place to get all our shit on shore.
Why didn’t they just rent a cabana?
>we
You fought in WW2?
Thank you for your service.
Wow you must be somewhere around 100 years old.
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.
>barely 3k people died in the whole invbasion across 5 different landing spots
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.
3k dead is pretty substantial for a single morning if youre not Russian or Chinese
Market Garden did happen
>Marker Garden
what a gay name.
they should've went with Operation Kill Strike.
Not even American or European, but at a certain point shitposts like this cross over from trolling to blatant disrespect.
OP you are a shitty person and a waste of space.
esoteric answer: moloch wanted blood
boring answer: lives are cheaper then parachutes
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
I meant SPR, I'm tired
Nazis had to take american lives so the country would unite against them.
they did you dumb Black person
they dropped paratroopers ahead of the landings to secure critical roads, towns, and gun batteries. never seen Band of Brothers?
Why didn’t they drop more brothers?
>Why not fly in behind the Germans and parachute in?
They did
>Why not fly in behind the Germans and parachute in?
They did that.
Actually, in a few years you're gonna unlock time travel and go back and tell them about that big brained idea. Want proof? Watch Band of Brothers
