Surely the greatest military achievement of all time was the Mongol capture of half the northern hemisphere using just ponies.

@T5Zplayer I am not trolling. I am pointing out an inconsistency in the headline. I have spent thirty years going on battlefield tours. At least three times to Normandy. I was raised by the airfield that Easy Company flew from on 6 June.

@chrisholland7367 They claim D Day as the greatest military achievement in history. I would say it wasn't even the greatest in WW2. Kursk was more impressive.

@lyndoncmp5751 I was talking about the German effort.

@lyndoncmp5751 How do you compare military effort How do you adjust for technology and the passage of time? D Day was incredible. But so was Napoleons invasion of Russia or the British effort in the American War of Independence using 3 masted sailing ships for a conflict 5,000 miles across an Ocean. The invasions of Sicily and Italy were just as big as D Day.

@lyndoncmp5751 I maintain the Mongol effort was better.
