Answer:

A. The specific missions of the two airborne divisions were to block approaches into the vicinity of the amphibious landing at Utah Beach, to capture causeway exits off the beaches, and to establish crossings over the Douve River at Carentan to assist the U.S. V Corps in merging the two U.S. beachheads.

B. The biggest anxiety for the airborne commanders was in linking up with the widely scattered forces west of the Merderet. Many continued to roam and fight behind enemy lines for up to 5 days.

C. They began by fortifying the Atlantic Wall in Normandy with more machine gun bunkers, millions of beachfront landmines, and by flooding inland marshes to trap Allied paratroopers. Their strategic preparations would ultimately help the Nazis inflict terrible Allied casualties on D-Day

Eliezer and his father are told to lie about their ages. why?
alex41 [277]

Remember that Eliezer and his father were sent off to Auschwitz, which as commonly known today is a death camp. To determine whether they go to Auschwitz or Birkenau (the labor camp next to Auschwitz), they were asked for some of the following things:


1) Age

2) Occupancy

3) Health condition

4) (i believe there might be more) etc.


Each of these determine if they can work, and depending on what they answer, they were either sent directly to the death camp, or were sent to the labor camp.


Now, to answer the question, they were told to lie about their ages so that they would have a higher survivability rate.


hope this helps
