D-DAY: TURNING THE TIDE OF WWII

You could say that the fate of the world was riding on June 6, 1944. After years of watching German troops defeat numerous European nations during World War II, the Allies were ready to strike back. But could they muster the manpower? And build the ships and planes to transport troops? And could they keep the Germans fooled about where they would land in Europe? Most of all, would the weather cooperate? In the April issue, we take a look at the many factors and faces that went into making D-Day a success, from Hobart's Funnies and Higgins boats, to Operations Overlord and Doublecross, to the bravery of American paratroopers and creativity of British engineers.
