We must accept that D-Day was an operation where all Allied Nations contributed, including but not limited to, Canada, Britain and France. These nations are excluded in favour of American-centric photos which excludes them. I would like this to change, so all of the nations who fought for freedom against evil fascism are represented here 2604:3D08:1A71:5200:C6E:9D16:D915:9D18 (talk) 09:19, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
? There's images that show British, Canadian, and French resistance, as well as Amercian troops. So I disagree that any of the major participants were excluded. — Diannaa (talk) 11:42, 8 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I haven't access to book Ford, Ken; Zaloga, Steven J. (2009). Overlord: The D-Day Landings. So I have a pair of questions:
1) "German ships in the area on D-Day included three torpedo boats, 29 fast attack craft, 36 R boats, and 36 minesweepers and patrol boats." But aren't R boats and minesweepers the same thing?
2) It is written just below: "At 05:10, four German torpedo boats reached the Eastern Task Force..." - So did the Germans have four or three boats? -- Karavadgoo (talk) 05:37, 6 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Page 205 says there were 36 R-boats as well as 35 auxiliary minesweepers. These may have been Auxiliary motor minesweepers but it does not say so, so I added what I know for sure.Page 233 does not specify the number of torpedo boats in the group, so I have taken out the word "four". I brought the book home, so if you have any questions or concerns in the next week or so, please ask! Cheers, — Diannaa (talk) 23:40, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
In paragraph 4, it mentions, only somewhat accurately, that the highest casualties were suffered on Omaha. Omaha had the highest total number of casualties (being by far the largest landing of the 5) but the second highest casualty rate (casualties out of total landed). Juno had the highest casualty rate. This should be fixed. No need to endlessly perpetuate less than completely accurate information as is so common with topics like these.— Preceding unsigned comment added by 198.137.20.57 (talk • contribs) 13:44, August 20, 2024 (UTC)
