I don't think anyone today can grasp the enormity of D-Day - the vast number of people involved, the huge quantity of materials and equipment, the long and detailed planning, and the enormous sacrifices on both the allied and the axis sides. I doubt if this were possible today, where we talk of hundreds and a few thousand in a military operation. D-Day was the ultimate enormous struggle. Those who paid with their health and with their lives should never be forgotten. Thanks for the detailed list of participating units. Considering that there were between 15,000 to 20,000 men in each unit, the enormous size of the undertaking can be more readily appreciated. Keep up the good work! :)
