D-Day was the biggest invasion in history. It took months before they attacked even though they needed help. During these months they had many meetings on when, where, and how to attack the Nazi's.

There was an Overlord operation which was the biggest operation during D-Day. One of the best tactics they used was called the matchbox tactic. The matchbox tactic was when there were British soldiers who dropped lit matchboxes close to the ground landing the matches in piles of dry brush.

On the night before the attack nearly 100,00 soldiers landed on five beaches with plenty of weapons and supplies. They arrived in around 11500 aircrafts, and 5000 naval crafts. As soon as it hit 12.00, the invasion had begun. Once the battle was over around 18000 men were injured or dead-4400 dead. The battle lasted around 12 weeks until the Allies finally won. This was won of the most motivating battles in the war giving the Allies hope.

The French Resistance played a vital part in aiding the Allies to success in  Western Europe – especially leading up to D-Day. The French Resistance also supplied the Allies with intelligence reports about the Nazi's. As well as doing a huge amount of work to disrupt the German supply and communication lines within France. Since they gave them so much knowledge this led to the Allies to know how and when to attack. Then the allies also helped just by fighting, and resisting.

This resistance ended up helping drastically since the Germans weren’t able to call in reinforcements. Now of course if you put it as simple as that is doesn't sound that helpful. But if you think about it they did something huge. You see, if the Germans kept calling in soldiers the battle would be endless until the Germans most likely won that battle. They also raided trains stealing and killing men. But another thing that impacted hugely was destroying the railroads causing slower transportation. This causes the Germans to half to walk to battle decreasing their energy and so they could not send any men in. So is other words, yes the impact the resistance caused was truly great.

The French Resistance acted through raids smuggling and stealing supplies soon before the attack. While the bombing was going on up top French, resisters were underground sabotaging Germans by destroying railroads and cutting off telephone lines. They did this because they knew the Nazi's could not call in more soldiers. Charles De Gaulle, the general and president of France started this resistance about a month after Germany invaded. Any one who could join the resistance did. They did this because they knew that the allied forces would come to help but would need the soldiers to have less supplies. So while the allied forces were getting their soldiers trained and ready the French Resistance killed German soldiers, so that the allied forces would have an easier battle on D-Day.

D-Day was the invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. This day The Allied forces, Canada, Britain, America and France attacked the Germans. The reason being that the Germans had invaded France and were in big trouble and needed some serious help. It had been planned for months until they actually attacked to save France. They did this by shooting out of boats and planes and bombing as well. The French resistance was underground for all of this though, helping out in another way.
