Beach Defense: WW2 D-Day

Ukufika kwe-Normandy kwakuyimisebenzi yokumisa kanye nokusebenza emoyeni okuhlobene ngoLwesibili, 6 Juni 1944 yokuhlasela kwe-Allied yaseNormandy ku-Operation Overlord phakathi neMpi Yezwe II. I-Codenamed Operation Neptune futhi evame ukubizwa ngokuthi i-D-Day, kwakuwukuhlasela okukhulu kolwandle emlandweni. Lo msebenzi waqala ukukhululwa kweFrance (futhi kamuva neYurophu esentshonalanga) futhi wabeka izisekelo zokunqoba kwe-Allied eNtshonalanga Front.

Ukuhlelela lo msebenzi kwaqala ngo-1943. Ezinyangeni ezandulela ukuhlasela, ama-Allies enza inkohliso enkulu yezempi, ebizwa ngokuthi i-Operation Bodyguard, ukudukisa amaJalimane mayelana nosuku nendawo lapho ama-Allied afika khona. Isimo sezulu ngo-D-Day sasingesihle neze, futhi umsebenzi kwadingeka ubambezeleke amahora angu-24; ukuhlehliswa okwengeziwe bekuyosho ukubambezeleka okungenani kwamasonto amabili, njengoba abahleli bokuhlasela babenezidingo zesigaba senyanga, amagagasi, kanye nesikhathi sosuku okwakusho ukuthi izinsuku ezimbalwa kuphela inyanga ngayinye zazibhekwa njengezifanelekile. U-Adolf Hitler wabeka u-Field Marshal u-Erwin Rommel ukuba aqondise amabutho aseJalimane futhi athuthukise izinqaba eduze noDonga Lwase-Atlantic elindele ukuhlasela kwe-Allied. UMongameli wase-U.S. uFranklin D. Roosevelt wabeka uMajor General Dwight D. Eisenhower njengomkhuzi wamabutho Ahlangene.

Ukuhlala emanzini okuhlala emanzini kwandulelwa ukuqhuma kwamabhomu okukhulu kwezindiza nezasolwandle kanye nokuhlasela okundiza emoyeni—ukwehla kwamasosha angu-24 000 aseMelika, amaBrithani, nawaseCanada ngemva nje kwamabili. Amasosha ahlangene kanye nezigaba ezihlomile ziqale ukufika ogwini lwaseFrance ngo-06:30. Indawo okuhloswe ukuthi ihambe ngamamayela angu-50 (80 km) ogwini lwaseNormandy ihlukaniswe yaba imikhakha emihlanu: i-Utah, i-Omaha, iGold, iJuno, neSword. Umoya onamandla uphephule isikebhe sokuhlala empumalanga yezindawo ebezihlosiwe, ikakhulukazi e-Utah nase-Omaha. Amadoda awela ngaphansi komlilo onzima wezibhamu ezazibekwe phezu kwamabhishi, futhi ugu lwambiwa futhi lwambozwa izithiyo njengezigxobo zokhuni, ama-tripods ensimbi nocingo oluhlabayo, okwenza umsebenzi wamaqembu ahlanza amabhishi ube nzima futhi ube yingozi. Izisulu bezinzima kakhulu e-Omaha, namawa ayo aphakeme. EGold, Juno, naseSword, amadolobha amaningana anezivikelo eziqinile asuswa empini yendlu ngendlu, futhi izindawo ezimbili ezinkulu ezazibekwe izibhamu eGold zakhutshazwa kusetshenziswa amathangi akhethekile.
