The obstacles of the Atlantic Wall

Rommel devised an elaborate system of obstacles between the high and low tide lines on the beaches, which would make an approach extremely risky even for flat-bottomed vessels.

D-day is 103 years old today. That's wrong you think?

June 6, 1944 was not the only time the term ‘D-Day’ was used to designate the day of a major attack.

In fact, the earliest known use of the term dates back to World War I. The U.S. Army Center of Military History identifies this distinct origin:

"The First Army will attack at H hour on D day with the objective of forcing the evacuation of the St. Mihiel Salient."

Following this order of September 7, this first D-Day took place on September 12, 1918, when more than half a million American troops attacked a 30-mile-wide German position, known as the Battle of Saint-Mihiel. It was the first independent American offensive of the war and the largest American military undertaking up to that time.
