@aniksamiurrahman6365 While Stalingrad is the worst battle of the war, Normandy was not as easy as you think, especially for the British and Canadians who ended up fighting bitter battles for 6 weeks against the Waffen SS and 1,000 German tanks at the cost of 83,000 casualties.

@Richard68434 What about the land battles after dday? the British and Canadians ended up having to fight through the majority of the German armour stationed in France. A total of 8 Panzer divisions ( 4 of which were elite well trained SS units), 7 infantry divisions and 3 heavy tank battalions... over a thousand tanks!!

@aniksamiurrahman6365 What glory of D-Day? These are the facts. D-Day has huge relevance for the postwar world, absolutely enormous. If D-Day hadn't happened, the whole of Germany and probably Finland, Sweden, Denmark, Austria, maybe the Low Countries too, and possibly even France would have been in Soviet hands, maybe even Spain. D-Day gave the Western Allies the time they needed to establish a military presence on the Continent, as far east as they did manage to get, and also to guarantee & provide safeguard for the independance of several European countries where they hadn't campaigned (eg Sweden, Finland, etc). Most importantly, perhaps, the West got control of the most heavily industrialized parts of Germany. Without D-Day the Allies would have been unable to secure the independance of most European nations - we would have had no leverage at all in Europe and we would have been completely ignored by the Soviets if there even were negotiations of the sort that took place at Potsdam. Yes the war was decided in the East by the Soviets, but that doesn't mean the Axis were not still in the fight. One of the reasons that Operation Bagration was possible is because the Germans deployed many of their best divisions to France, leaving their forces in Belarus thinly spread and lacking front line armour and armour reserves. The Germans didn't have much with which to oppose Bagration. Huge expanses of front and not enough to plug the gaps since 12 Panzer divisions that would have halted the Red armies advance were committed to Normandy instead. Stop being so biased.

@TIK You should do the Battle of Caen, lots of tank combat and street fighting against the Waffen SS

 @aniksamiurrahman6365 Feelings hurt? No, i just won't put up with ignorance..

@aniksamiurrahman6365 I'm not talking about Omaha beach dude....i meant the fighting in the British sector of Caen, in the country side where the British a long with the Canadians fought major tank and street battles against the elite Waffen SS.

@aniksamiurrahman6365 Just type in British bloodbath at Caen and check out the video by Mark Felton Productions.

@aniksamiurrahman6365 Right so in other words you have no real rebuttal other than calling me a butt hurt idiot? At the end of the day no matter how you look at it, If there had not been a D-Day, then the Russian army could very well have taken ALL of western Europe all the way to the Atlantic. Then the allies would have had to fight the Russians. Without a D-Day, the world would be a lot different today, nothing you say changes that fact.

@aniksamiurrahman6365 I assume English isn't your first language because literally not a single thing you just said makes any sense, i'm not talking about the cold war, what are you going on about ?! READ the comment if there had not been a D-Day, then the Russian army could very well have taken ALL of western Europe all the way to the Atlantic. Then the allies would have had to fight the Russians. Without a D-Day, the world would be a lot different today

@fiddlersgreen2433 Cakewalks in sheer numbers of troops perhaps, but it wasnt easy, the British during the battle of normandy were fighting with the elite Waffen SS, the best trained and most fanatical german soldiers.

@bigazza7829 Im not being arrogant

@fiddlersgreen2433 I think the fundamental difference between the West and Eastern fronts was the space. The Divisions in Normandy (which included high quality SS German units) were concentrated into a comparatively small area. German armour in the eastern front was far more spread out for miles.
