Can anyone describe the battle plan used on d-day? ! =)

D-Day called for one of the most critical spread and focus strategies in history.  The Allies needed an entry into Europe that would maximize their chances of success while minimizing the risk to lives and military assets.  The map of Europe prior to D-Day illustrates how they arrived at their brilliant solution.

First, look at the extreme breadth of the Russian front.   Keeping Germany occupied with a two-front war, which meant maintaining a coalition with Stalin and the Soviets, was a critical element of Allied strategy.  As Americans, we remember the drama of D-Day, the liberation of Paris, and the Battle of the Bulge.   But it was the “Barbarossa” campaign—a battle of unprecedented size between Russia and Germany—that made the invasion from the West possible.  More than a million German soldiers were occupied on the eastern front on D-Day, when the Allies invaded the western front. 

Second, take a glance at Scotland, facing Norway to the east.  Norway was important to Hitler as the home of his U-boat bases. Taking advantage of the geographic proximity of Scotland to northern Europe, Allied leaders developed a strategy called Fortitude North.  The Fortitude North ruse was intended to freeze in place the thirteen army divisions (over 130,000 soldiers, not to mention 90,000 navy and 60,000 Luftwaffe personnel) that Hitler had stationed in Norway, Denmark, and Finland.  [note – I have seen estimates up to 27 divisions.] [1] To create a credible threat to the north, the Allies needed some loud saber-rattling in Scotland.
