The COSSAC plan proposed a landing from the sea by three divisions, with two brigades landed by air. Following Eisenhower's and Montgomery's revision of the plan, this was expanded to landings by five divisions and airborne descents by three divisions. In total, 47 divisions would be committed to the Battle of Normandy: 19 British, five Canadian and one Polish division under overall British command, and 21 American divisions with one Free French division[citation needed], totalling over a million troops.[32

D-day would have never happened without the U.S. and you know it. Monty was a Tart and never won till the U.S. Generals knocked the Nazis on their heals. America took Africa and Europe and met the Russians in the middle.
Yeah the allies helped but you all Europeans lost the ranch and we got it back for you all the while fighting on THREE major fronts. The whole mainland of Europe fell to the Nazis and only England stood in their way, if it were not for the water and the U.S. showing up on time England would have fell.

I have to agree with that. Were the German people really so niave that they did not know what was going on with the Jews or plans for World Domination in WWII?
If so, can they be forgiven for blindly following a leader as insane as Hitler.
I have nothing against the Germans, but when people talk about the attrocities of the American Government, they need to put in context
