Remembering D-Day 80 Years Later
The Art of Manliness
Reflections on the Unpredictable and Strategic Aspects of D-Day
D-Day was a mix of skill, courage, heroism, and unpredictable fate. While there were moments of bravery and gallantry, many situations were determined by random chance and luck. Despite the prevailing myth that D-Day was a precarious endeavor, the success of the operation was attributed to extensive American preparation, innovative technologies, and overwhelming scale. The outcome of the invasion was not as uncertain as believed, as history has shown that every Allied amphibious invasion during World War II succeeded. The true challenge lay in the days following D-Day, where the Allied forces had to secure and maintain their positions while facing German reinforcements. D-Day marked the beginning of a 77-day campaign to break out of the beachheads and advance towards Paris and Germany, demonstrating that the triumph of D-Day was just the initial step in a long and arduous battle.
