I wondered that too.
Can't be that hard to make a thick door-like shield that 2 men carry and hide behind

bombs were a thing

Because grenades and mortars are a thing.

Why didn't they just bring the boats around so they could attack the nazis in the back lmao soldiers were so stupid back then

The kind of shield that could block a bullet would be so heavy humans wouldn't be able to carry it. You'd need to attach it to wheels to roll it around. Then, because uneven ground makes it hard to push things with wheels, you'd need to replace the wheels with treads. Then, because you'd still get tired pushing something, you'd want to add an engine to do the pushing for you. Also you'd still be vulnerable from the top, sides, and behind, so you'd need to put shields there as well. And since you'd already have an engine, it probably wouldn't hurt to add some extra guns to your shield since at that point weight wouldn't matter. Then, to save money, it'd be easier to scale up the shield so that it could block half a dozen people at once. At this point you'd realize you just invented the tank.

Why didn't they just join the nazis to kill the brits and slavs

Why didn't they just make sandcastles and get some ice cream

make love not war

They couldn't land on the beaches directly, they all had to wade through water that was slightly higher that their waist. Dragging a shield thick enough to stop rifle and machine gun through that would be impossible.

What must have been going through actual soldiers minds when they hit the beach and realized that they're basically in meat grinder. Not too mention the boat ride there.

Duality of man dude

Why didn't they just take their guns and tell the fat cats in Washington to go get rekt themselves instead

Why didn't the feminists sign up to run at bullets

beforehand disassociation, most of them would be completely incapable of imaging what was about to happen
on the beach pure instinct takes over

Why didn't they use plasma rifles in the 40 watt range?

God dammit user you were supposed to say something funny. Now those digits have been wasted.

Digits from hell describing hell

quints of hell

Scared to death, but calmed by the knowledge they were fighting to protect a man’s right to cut his dick off and use women’s locker rooms.

My Grandfather on my Dads side came in a later wave. He died before I ever got to know him, soon after I was born. From what I understand, he said that he initially thought we had lost and the invasian was a failure, judging by the numerous bodies visible from even far offshore. Eventually he was tasked with helping move bodies for a while so he never really like to talk about it.

Or just pop some smoke?

I alway forget that Vin DIesel is in it

The Shields wouldnt have stopped the water snakes Hitler tactically placed on the beach

Is it true that the first on shore didn't actually fire at the Germans because they thought they wouldn't have to kill to win the war, or was Lt. Fick spouting shit.

I dunno sounds weird since Germans were already fighting the allies.

CAPARZO STAY DOOOWN!

>Normandy Operation was in actuality a crushing defeat for Germans and the Allies experienced almost no opposition in the initial landings beyond Omaha

wtf Yea Forums lied to me!

this

Why didn't they get the eagles to fly them to Berlin

Well what do you think? A couple of bunkers and machine gun nests, halfway through 1944. The US never fought an even battle on the western front, outside of maybe parts of the Italy campaign. Over 80% of German military casualties happened on the eastern front. D-day, battle of the bulge etc. are a joke compared to what happened there.

Not much. Here is a redpill for you, Omaha was a one off. Firstly, the British beaches (3 of 5) used Hobart's Funnies to their fullest. This resulted in the ease of the beaches being captured and the breakout forces getting a move on. The Americans, in their infinite wisdom, decided AGAINST using Hobart's Funnies bar the tank floatation device. The issue was that the Americans were pushed off course by rough weather and landed on a much better defended section of beach. Instead of releasing their tanks nearer to the beach they released them too early and all but two sank. Had the Americans used the other funniest (minefield clearer, barbed wire clearer, flamethrower tank etc) as they should have been used, it wouldn't have been a problem even in the bad position they landed in. The rest of the beaches had little to no problem breaking through. The British deception plans, double agents and special force attacks resulted in the counter-attack being delayed for longer than they had even hoped for.

Furthermore, American naval bombardments they performed to create cover for landing troops fucked up and most missed. Omaha was a result of arrogant American leaders treating this was fun and games (much like they did during the training) and as a result got punished for it. If it wasn't for the other beaches pressuring Omaha's flanks they'd have been trapped there for much longer. D-Day was not a massive meat grinder and outside of Omaha was actually surprisingly light in causalities. If you want an actual meat grinder then Stalingrad or Kursk is where you go.

This is incorrect as well. Omaha wasn't expected to be a resistance point, it was by pure bad luck and poor American planning. The issue was and always was going to be the eventual counter-attack but due to British work this was delayed by many hours longer than hoped for. The entire liberation of France is an example of overconfident, fresh faced Americans being dicks.

Why didn't they just parachuted behind the enemy and shoot them from behind?

Wouldn't work against a machine gun. It would just impede mobility. Which would further help machine guns.

Why did not they use sniber rifled to pew pew from far away the solder

First of all, seek mental help. I'm deadly serious. Secondly, you're arguing with historical fact. The British attacked more beaches during D-Day than Americans and used the Funnies and had no issue breaking through. D-Day was literally impossible without the Mulberry Docks working as well. In this particular case, yes, the Americans were to blame. Utah didn't have a problem because it landed on target; Omaha didn't. Again, you're arguing with fucking historical fact. The fact you go off on /pol/ shit is you literally seething about how your media lies to you about historical events when America is involved. Much like the Revolutionary War; you're not taught that the French and Spanish had 70,000~ troops fighting for you on top of your own force which outnumbered the British and Prussian forces. It doesn't mention the fucking Dutch, French, Spanish, Mysore, Polish or Russian interference and help. Why would it? Your history is a propaganda machine, which is why Oklahoma wanted to ban historically accurate history if it 'put USA in a bad light'.

Next you'll argue that Operation Dragoon was somehow vitally necessary and there was totally millions of German troops in southern France that was vital to attack and that ignoring the Balkans for said operation and allowing the Soviet Union to invade Eastern Europe without opposition and form the USSR to a greater extent and the creation of the Cold War was a 'cost worth paying'. History doesn't give a shit about your feelings mate.

Well compared to dying in the sand...

You're actually mad lmao holy shit calm down bro.

Not him, but you would be slow as fuck in the sand with a heavy shield. I'm pretty sure they thought about all these things when it happened in real life.

Tell me to fuckin calm down cunt I will stab you

Why were Americans fighting Europe's wars for them?

big brain brad

why didnt they just not land at a beach that had tons of turrets and shit on it

because people weren't really onboard with the whole "exterminate the Poles" thing

Why waste money on tanks when you can just send thousands of goyim to die for you?

"Dude, why didn't they give us shields bro?"

>What must have been going through actual soldiers minds when they hit the beach
We must secure the existence of Israel and a future for Jewish children

the germans declared war on them because muh axis alliance

They caught wind that Germany was going to start shit with the US when they intercepted the telegraph they sent to Mexico on them joining the axis.

Because that's too expensive, basic infantry are never and were never ever taken even semi-seriously, that's the truth. The infantry are there to take the brunt of it cost effectively while the shit that matters (tanks and artillery) makes its way on the beach. That was the case even in medieval times. The tanks artillery and aircraft is where all the money is sunk into. Of course they aren't going to give the lowest common denominator expensive hard to make equipment to do basic jobs. They are brainwashed through bootcamp to advance under gunfire and take and hold positions after the aircraft and artillery has cleared everything out thinking they can actually deal damage, that's it. Most American troops were given alcohol in their rations and most were drunken poor uneducated folk too retarded to realize they were being sent into a meat grinder (the only people who the commanders knew wouldn't revolt if they were sent into a first wave invasion attack).

Money plays just as big a role in war as anything. Even today it has been shown that modern infantry (only elite special ops infantry are equipped like this anyway) can and do wear steel plates and sand bag protection armor that will stop heavy machine gun rounds. All modern infantry now is just a pointer for aircraft and artillery bombardment and now even they are totally mechanized or mechanized whenever possible as it's cost effective. It's just a matter of resource allocation and during WWII resource allocation was extremely tight so all they were given for protection was a super pathetically think steel cap that was a basic as fuck stamp to simply create the illusion that they were protected when in reality that shit was barely thin enough to stop a .22 from punching through it.

fucking Einstein over here

That was WWI you retard

What's this tank doing?

They were under prepared because of the incompetence of their generals and bureaucracy

Drowning in a tank must be fucking terrifying

Use a shield

>abuurrr da Americans are poopy

Check out the big brain on Brad!

Better question is why didn't battle ships just blast the shoreline from thousands of meters away?

Why didn't they just dig a tunnel to the other side of the bunkers?

its a tank designed to make paths for more tanks.
try not to think too hard about it

Because riot shields weren't popular till MW2

Why didn't the 6 million Jews that died try to fight back or anything?

How about something like 100 rounds at the rate of around 1000 rounds per minute?

Why didnt they use battleships to blast the bunkers from far away

Kino post my fellow buddy friend

They did but you can't blast every single fortification on the entire coast and you're going to need to deploy somewhere.

I mean, seriously, would this really be stupid?
What if instead of just troops in the troop boats, they each had a perfectly fitting metal shield containing troops?
Or at least half of them, I mean. The other half have the normal troops as insurance in case these ones die from a smoke grenade.

pretty good

Yeah, name one. You're still in Iraq almost 20 years later.

why didn't they just give every soldier a mech suit

whoa

riddle me this
why did the transport ships open from the front and not the sides or the back

Right, because war consists of 5 or 6 rounds at a time.

How exactly do you envision that working out?

>Dude I want some bussy

why wasnt there close air support in omaha?
why wasnt there aircraft carriers in the atlantic?

almost none of them drowned

You keep ignoring the fact that Omaha's fortifications were much greater than that of any other beach. Or the fact that Omaha was defended by a division sized element instead of regimental sized units.

This is why i come here. For posts like these

Because if you get out the back you have farther to travel and through deeper water. They had this shit planned out the best they could, and again, they did essentially have shields Stop getting tactical theories from movies. Men effectively lived in burning ruins and were able to win battles or even the war.

bullets go through shields, the only effective bullet stopping armour we have needs a vehicle to move it around. Armour is heavy.

hm, the math checks out

>Canacuck/Britbong shill shitting on le americans lmao
you're ignoring the fact that Omaha was by far the most heavily-defended (an entire division) and heavily-fortified of the beaches
also, Utah went off basically without a hitch

im saying it will stop A bullet,i never said anything about portable armor..

>shield
The impact of projectiles would flake the inside of the metal and turn them into razor sharp pieces of shrapnel, which is just as bad as being shot.

>The impact of projectiles would flake the inside of the metal and turn them into razor sharp pieces of shrapnel, which is just as bad as being shot.
spaced armor would easily solve that, a secondary extremely thin anti spall layer
