- In the lead up to D-Day, everything revolved around deception, preparation and most importantly, keeping things secret. It was crucial to the success of D-Day that the Germans didn’t see the allies coming.
Getting soldiers ready was another thing. A lot of them weren’t told what they were getting themselves into a few months down the line.
For the D-Day landings to succeed, practice was key. But it was just as crucial to keep everything a secret from the Germans, so they wouldn't figure out the Allies' plans.

Interesting and informative, plus of course sad that many lives were lost due to friendly fire and mishaps.
Thank you Airfix.
Loads of yanks were billeted in the Rhondda and departed from Cardiff and Barry docks. I'll be remembering my late father who served on HMS Erebus, having survived the sinking of HMS Penelope following the Anzio landings in February 1944.
😮😮ty you yet go and
Do your own you ok PO😅
Il modellismo di alta qualità è uno dei modi migliori di studiare la storia..si può dire che io ho imparato la storia della prima e della seconda guerra mondiale costruendo i modelli airfix tra il 1972 e il 1979. Devo molto ad airfix e alla sua cura nei dettagli e alle schede illustrative molto ben fatte che inseriva nelle scatole di montaggio
i love it! Thank you airfix
Shame about the typo at the start 😢
With regard to the lifebelts, it is not possible to wear a haversack, bandolier, assault gas mask bag and all of the other accoutrements and keep the lifebelt up under your armpits. Physically there is no room.
Nice one. Bout time yous expanded your 1/32 range
There was a third reason to hush up the disaster of Slapton Sands. The troops would have lost faith in their commanders and communication if they'd known many of their comrades had been killed as a direct result of that total foul-up. Sadly repeated later that year when the British Airborne's radios failed them at Arnhem, giving the latter even less excuse - after Slapton Sands - aren't exercises supposed to /remove/ bugs not leave them in? - the very first thing they thought should have been 'Will our radios work?'
Did not make it past the adds
Sorry, but I find the tone of this video quite offensive. The problems and mistakes mentioned during the rehearsal were obviously tragic, but this was a massive undertaking, being done in secret, in war-time. The information was delivered in the same manner as when a new kit is being released and we are told about how many parts included. I am not saying I want history to be white-washed, far from it,. I am just disappointed that there was not a more appropriate and contextual presentation.
100% agree with you it’s an amateurish and insulting presentation. Put me off ever buying another Airfix kit.
It’s a video from a plastic toy company, don’t get so triggered.
The video is discussing milotary historical events. This 'toy company' has alot of military subjects in its range, arguably it is the mainstay of their product line. I don't believe for a minute that Airfix meant any offence or disrespect, and this video was made and put out with a certain naivete
My comment was for the people at the Airfix channel.to let them know how the video was perceived.
There is no way a G.I didn’t know the difference between blanks and live 30.06 stop talking bollocks about those brave men
He's a Britisher. Probably never fired a rifle in his life.
@@HO-bndk I’m English fired plenty of 30’06 out of my 1903A3 Springfield and shoot blanks from a Garand at WW2 reenactments. It’s an insult to those highly trained men who died on that beach.
Also the men of the 4th Infantry Division had been in serious training since the Carolina manoeuvres in 1942 and had been reactivated as an infantry division in 1940. They were far from untrained and unskilled as is depicted in this video.
