What? Description: The Normandy Battle lasted a long 24 days. The death toll hit around, 425,000 by the end of the 24 days. Why was it an important battle? The D-day invasion of Normandy by allied forces in WW2 was a crucial turning point in the war, both military and diplomatic. It opened an extremely vital new front that almost immediately threatened Germany’s industrial heart. It more directly aided the Russian than previous US and UK offenses in Africa and North Africa as it pulled resources out of the Eastern Front areas. Strategies: The military historian Liddell Hart says that the purpose of strategy is “to diminish the possibility of resistance.” “Even if a decisive battle to be the goal,” he says “the aim of strategy must to bring this battle under the most advantageous circumstances. And the more advantageous the circumstances the less, proportionately, will be the fighting.” To ensure a position of advantage on D-Day allied strategy called for keeping the German army too dispersed to mount an effective counter attack. Canada’s part in D-Day: There was estimated 1000 Canadians killed in Normandy, And around 14, 000 Canadians on the starting day of the D-day battle.
