Why didn’t they just use shields?
Why didn’t they just use shields?
Why didn't they send captain america
why didn't they just hide behind the boats and wait until the germans run out of ammo?
because it was set-up to make as many people die as possible. realistically they could just send a few guys in, have them radio the info and bomb the fuck out of the beach. have the rest of the troops waiting out in the boats a mile out and come in when the bombing run is finished
Cant carry the shield necessary to shield you from those calibre it would be well over 500lbs
why did they use jacks for protection
honour
>TROUGH THE GATES OF HELL
why were they even attacking the germans?
They were the shields, for their jewish overlords from wall street.
Why didn't they just stay home?
The jews told them to
my greatest dream is do die on the beeches of omaha
imagine giving your life for what we have now
Why didn't they just pretend to invade and then take the boats and go around the defenses
how come they didn't go around the bunkers, there were only like two
put wheels on shield then silly
Why didn't they just stay home, dilate, and whine on twitter about how much of a big meanyhead Hitler was? Also my pronouns are Type 2/Diabetes and my blood type is syrup.
Jew
In real life bombers and naval bombardment were supposed to take out most of the defences before the landing but they failed to do so, bombers missed
General Patton said the US should have been marching into Moscow with the Germans in WWII, and then the (((Bolsheviks))) killed him.
And now look where we're at. RIP GEORGE
Hi guys, moderator from /r/askhistorians here to answer your questions.
>Why didn’t they just use shields?
Shields were outdated by this era. Bullets would have blown through them.
>Why didn't they send captain america
Different universe.
>why didn't they just hide behind the boats and wait until the germans run out of ammo?
They were on a tight schedule.
>why did they use jacks for protection
They had to use anything they could in a tight spot
>why were they even attacking the germans?
It was part of a larger international operation for regime change in Germany
>Why didn't they just stay home?
Socio economic reasons
>Why didn't they just pretend to invade and then take the boats and go around the defenses
Actually, pretending to invade was a major factor in this operation.
>Why didn't they just stay home, dilate, and whine on twitter
Not viable
Thanks for all the responses, this really blew up.
Why didn’t they just send the Red Army?
You can buy a plane ticket and a length of rope right now
Why didn't they just use black troops?
It's easier to dodge a bullet than it is to block a bullet. Shields take up one of your arms which could be used to more accurately fire your rifle or do something else. Effective combat shields are 50+ pounds and it's extremely difficult to run and hold up something like that to actually stop bullets.
Why didnt they just put sanctions on Germany and change their facebook profiles to the good guy flag?
>imagine giving your life for what we have now
lol
DDay didn't happen like this at all and it baffles me why everyone thinks it did
I mean I know it's because of the movie but still, stop being retarded
You could put an engine and wheels on it. And so it doesn't get stuck in the soft sand, add some tracks. While you're at it, you can put some wrap around armor on the sides too. Now that I think of it, maybe it could carry a larger caliber supporting weapon of its own that can swivel.
They were trying to win
They weren't attacking Germany. The beaches they were storming were in France. They were very eager to fry those dirty Frenchies.
>me hiding under a pile of bodies until the allies take over
I like this post
>I'm a NEET who is smarter than the thousands of engineers that have prepared the debarkment
lol
why didn't they just deploy amphibious flamethrower tanks?
Based and cute.
Good news, you still can.
why didnt they just paint their faces yellow and wave meatball flags?
>guuuintaaaaah!
Ok, so then why didn't they go
>All the German bunkers and emplacements still appear intact, we're not landing thousands of men on this beach until you do another run and actually take them out
>t. shieldlet
>tfw hiding 1ft over the swiss border knowing I'm untouchable due to international law
Post the pic of the jewish MP that was supposed to shoot them in the back if they didn’t exit.
Why didn’t they bomb the installs and then hit the beach?
Wouldn't they have still died if they didn't exit? The front was open with no cover further back
You have dedicated shield troops in tetsudo guarding the troops.
They tried that before. Too heavy.
kek. wonder how far they got.
>General Patton said the US should have been marching into Moscow with the Germans in WWII
General Patton was also a retard who didn't believed in shell shock
they believed it, they just werent sympathetic to it.
I'm allowed to jerk off on the toilet, with diahrea in the bowl bellow and write this post thanks to those guys lol
ww1 was peak absurd
omahas got bitches?
Upvoted!
>why didn't they just hide behind the boats and wait until the germans run out of ammo?
Because WWII was a Jewish plot to kill as many people of Germanic descent as possible.
>AS WE MAKE OUR WAY TO HEAVEN
The older I get the more this turns my stomach. These were barely adult boys most of whom were fine people, both sides, and they're put in a position to slaughter each other.
We had remembrance day recently and I almost felt like visiting one of their cemeteries to thank them I guess. Poor dudes.
Churchill's war killed millions.
German bunkers were obscenely durable. The best the bombing could have done was destroy anything caught outside of them.
Why didn’t they have the sniper guy on a boat out in the ocean sniping the Nazi gunners?
Why didn’t they just make guns illegal?
bombing isnt pinpoint accurate like movies or your video games. even modern bombers need targets painted and struggle to be accurate. its like saying you should be able to bomb aircraft carriers easily when it was a 'drop and pray' type of aiming system from thousands of feet up. these gunner holes and buildings are not remotely close to size of aircraft carrier surface and we could barely hit the aircraft carriers without massive losses.
because as WWII major engagements go it was rather bloodless to send in a bunch of rookies to secure a beachhead and then bring in the seasoned troops. A generation earlier and any general would sell his daughters maidenheads for a day like this in France.
