The decision on the exact go date for the Normandy invasion was Ike's based on the best Intel briefed to him.

A good start would be to get hold of the film “The Longest Day”. That should give you an idea.

The total plan was very compartmentalized.

The whole of D-Day is in the books and available to read. Winston & FDR were briefed on the general plans but the details were very close holed and the planning/rehearsals were Ike's combined allied staff and the combined allied troops.

Thanks for the info. I was referring to Yamamato being killed. Did FDR trumpet that at all?

D-Day is something that I have read a lot about. I’ve watched the Longest Day probably 20 times (as a kid, I loved history. Now I am 25).

Side note. The fact that the one developer of the Omaha Beach pictures who developed them too fast and ruined all but a few really angers me. Like I actually get upset about that.

But anways. Thanks again for the post, but I was referring to the death of Yamamato (sp?).
