Question

Which of the following reasons were why General Eisenhower was worried about setting the date to launch the invasion of Normandy?
a. The troops weren't ready.
b. Bad weather hindered attack.
c. They were trying to negotiate a peace treaty.
d. They were waiting for more countries to join the fight.

Answer 1

The correct answer is "B".

The Invasion of Normandy, also known as "D Day", was the Allied landing on the shore of Normandy, France, on June 6th, 1944. The operation was actually delayed in 24 hours as bad weather conditions arose. There was a further threat of delaying the operation for 2 weeks, as invasion planners argued that the phases of the Moon sharply altered the tides in the sea. Therefore, there were only a few days in the month which were suitable.

Answer 2

I believe your answer is b. Bad weather hindered attack. But don't quote me on that because I'm not 100%.
