=The Invasion of Normandy - D-Day =

toc =Description= D-Day was the first step in liberating Europe of the Nazis. On June 6, 1944, The Allied forces stormed the beaches of Normandy in operation Overlord. They Stormed 5 beaches in total, code named- Juno, Gold, Omaha, Utah,and Sword. Forces from a total of Canada, The Free French Forces, The United Kingdom, and the United States all did their part in this invasion.

Out of all the beaches Omaha beach was the hardest one to take. It was the American troops that where in charge of taking that beach. In the invasion over ten thousand troops died of the allied forces. The invasion did go as planed because all five beaches where under Allied control by the end of the day. In the end all five beaches where under allied control and this was the first step in winning the war and freeing Europe of the Nazis.

This battle on Omaha beach was one of the biggest and bloodiest battles of World War II. D-day had two phases. There was an amphibious phase and an airborne phase. The airborne phase dropped over 24,000 soldiers onto the beaches of Normandy and the amphibious phase was one of the biggest in world history as 160,000 soldiers rose from the sea onto the beach of Normandy to finally drive off the Germans.

My video is about the invasion of Normandy on D-Day. My vision was to show people what the soldiers went through from training to the actual invasion and then to the thousands of dead and wounded soldiers that where being transported to the medical ships. The hardest part of my project was finding the right song for it and also editing it and making it so that everything fit together good like getting the right clip of a song or finding the right picture or film clip to go with it. media type="custom" key="9091418"

The video I made was on D-Day its self. Along with there planning and them attacking. The video turned out to be pretty simple and not real hard to do. If I had to pick a hard part would be finding the right times and points to make every thing go smooth, the music was hard to find too. media type="custom" key="9045540"

My video follows one man as he is drafted into the military and thrown into the biggest battle of WWII, D-day. The video turned out good because it really did tell what D-day was like and all the struggles that the soldiers had to face. The hardest part was fitting the audio with the pictures because you had to move certain pictures to fit them together perfectly. media type="custom" key="9091368"

The vision that we had towards our video was that it would show the hardships and some of the success that the Americans went through. Many were wounded or killed while others survived the many hardships. The hardest part was having to find pictures that didn't just show people marching. media type="custom" key="9095708"

Our project is about what American did in the war. We are talking about and introducing you to D-day. We start off by telling you about the assault boats in the pacific. My partner and I tried to fully explain the war in order of the events we have details and pictures but you would have to do a little research on your own about it but you could spend a life time tying to learn every thing that happened on D-day and many men died in order to repel Hitler and his allies. . media type="custom" key="9109736"

In this video my goal was for people to feel a personal side of a take on how Pearl Harbor lead to many Americans being drafted into the infantries that led D-Day. This project I hope shows that war may be this big bad thing but people were willing to serve their nation. I though that finding pictures that flowed together well was a hard part for this project. media type="custom" key="9160290"

In this video Hitler is practicing his speech that he is going to be giving. He is talking about how America had helped the British win the war and if they hadn't been their they would have one. He is also saying that his men weren't the reason on way they were losing and that they were brave and strong. He also believed that we only one because we had an overwhelming amount of people. media type="custom" key="9045540"
