“””D-Day by the numbers: Here’s what it took 76 years ago to pull off the biggest amphibious invasion in history”””


Obviously the author of this story is a graduate of an institute of higher learning with an advanced degree in ‘new’ mathematics. I believe it was 77 years ago.

True in my old math 2021 - 1944 = 77. The author must be using Democrat math where arithmetic is racist.

You could be right but it's also possible that the headline is referring to the planning stages which would have started in 1943 or something as simple as a miss print by the publisher....

Hence his opening paragraph which is accurate:

The scale of the Allied invasion that began 77 years ago, on June 6, 1944, was unlike anything the world had seen before or will most likely ever see again. "
