Leads to speculation as to why exactly did the carries sail hours before the attack?
I believe in coincidences and luck; I just look at the results of that war, compared to the goals 6 years earlier, and find it absurd. It really is marketed well, including some radio commercials about how conservatives should love some D-Daytour package (? - wierd); what was sold as getting a “toe-hold in Europe” completely ignores the earlier fighting in Italy (probably because they were against real units, led by Kesselring).
