yea is real surprising King didn’t convoy from the get go. USA did the same thing in WWI, not learning from their allies. A bunch of guys got slaughtered because of it.
Figures for D-Day and beyond…
-
General enquiry: Does anyone have a good bunch of figures for D-Day and the weeks following which give both the rough number of troops and equipment used, and the nationalities that went with it?
I’m trying to find out how many soldiers from each nation were represented and what amount of equipment came from each country, both for the landings and the few weeks beyond. Planes, ships, tanks - the whole lot.

This link ought to help you…

I looked through that earlier, it’s not too bad. Still need to find out the ratio of tanks and planes per country, and also how the numbers per nationality altered in the weeks that followed.
