D-Day was the day that Hitler’s “Fortress Europe” was being attacked. The Germans expected an attack and thought it would be from the sea; mines and barbed wire, guns were facing out towards the sea while the reinforcements/armies waited inland. It was so called “The Atlantic Wall”.

Deception was the key for the success of the war. An illusion of a large invasion force was being created in Kent where dummy tanks and aircraft were built of inflatable rubber and placed in realistic looking “camps”. Even the ships, the harbours all looked so real, down to the camouflaging of the fake forces building and organizing in great strength.

German spies were all being fooled when double agents fake stories/documents and also the broadcasting of the “great” force busy building and getting ready to attack, to the German spies as expected my the allied forces.

The deception proved great success beyond the allied wildest dreams. The Germans thought that the attack will be coming in from Pas-de-Calais and placed massive numbers of tanks and troops over at Pas-de-Calais. The Allied Forces when one more step ahead in trying to really fake the hoax of the massive forces coming from Pas-de-Calais, the allied forces dropped silver foil along the way to give the impression of massed planes and ships crossing from Dover. The Germans thought that, that is the real deception and the Normandy landings were a diversion and kept back reserves of tanks and troops in the Pas-de-Calais area. The Germans thought that by holding the area of Pas-de-Calais, they would be defending the “real” invasion.

But by the time the Germans realized their mistake, it was already way too late for them.
The Normandy bridgehead had been secured, and Allied troops were fighting their way across northern France.

It was an interesting lesson to be learnt from this war, the “The D-Day”.

What is dry drowning? I am also not very sure about it but roughly I do know that it is due to the lung, unable to extract oxygen from the air. The boy was actually swimming but drank some of the swimming pool water that causes asphyxiation, which is the main cause of dry drowning.

Parents should keep a lookout of their children while they are swimming, especially also don’t eat before swimming. The died of dry drowning on Sunday afternoon. After the swim, the boy complaint about feeling unwell and wanted to take a nap, but when someone went to call him up from the nap, he is gone, died of dry drowning.

Water was found coming out from his nose and was having a hard time breathing. I was wondering, where was the lifeguard at that time where CPR can be performed, might be able to save him, who knows.

The boy was sent to Trident Hospital and died later afterwards. The doctor later found out that, his lungs was filled with water which cause dry drowning, parents should take a serious note on this in the future.
