Before we entered in this battle we sent in three paratroopers and see what the Germans were up to and see were there weakest point was to attack. This attack was called operation overlord and was a very thought out plan to attack Germany and took less then a year to plan to push Germany out of the war. This operation was largest air, land and sea operation, the had 5,000 ships and 10,000 airplanes and over 150,000 soldiers fighting for their countries.
