The beaches for the landing are the following Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword, we have chosen those beaches in Normandy, because with low tides, the sea can withdraw up to 500 meters and the territory all around the shore is an easy target for the artillery.
After the deception campaign that had taken place, and all the studies made to determine which is the best geographic place to land we have concluded, the allied troops are now waiting for the right conditions to land. The perfect conditions for landing were close to ideal, late-rising full moon, a receding tide, good visibility, sparse cloud cover and low winds, although the visibility isn´t good, we can´t wait more.


The divisions of each country are explained in the image to the right.

We know that arriving to France will not be easy.  Most of the tanks that are going to be transported to Normandy will never make it to shore. The Germans will shoot mortar shells at the boats and the canvas “bloomers” that were carrying the tanks onto the beach, and there is an estimation that 11 000 of our soldiers will die on the arriving. But still it is the moment; the Germans in the beaches do not have supplies.
