One has to wonder if Ike had allowed 8th Air Force to bomb the landing zone area from 1AM to 5AM...if all these lives would have been lost. The surprise would have still existed and the Germans could not have brought in more troops in just four hours. So many of these bunkers would have been destroyed and the threat neutralized. But I guess being a armchair coach doesn't help in this situation. We are where we are....and we walked boldly upon the beaches. No German say otherwise.
