Right before D-Day, three U.S. Army Ranger companies were sent to Pointe Du Hoc, cliff between Utah and Omaha Beaches in Normandy. Their mission was to capture the battery of\u00a0155mm guns that were stationed there by the Germans. The mission’s end goal was to disarm the Germans so that they wouldn’t be able to open fire on soldiers that were going to be landing on Utah and Omaha Beaches. However, the plan quickly fell apart when\u00a0German defenses delayed them by forty minutes. Once they finally arrived, the guns had been moved and this cost the lives of 150 to 200 men. Eventually reinforcements had to head over to Omaha Beach.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The Allied Forces made a ton of mistaking, one of the biggest was sending out the Navy too far out into choppy waters. This resulted in a huge number of vessels capsizing and cost many soldiers their lives. On top of that, the airborne fleet landed in a highly disorganized fashion, leaving troops vulnerable. Many of them had to hide behind the bodies of their dead comrades in order to survive. The only bright side in this story is that the Germans were just as disorganized during this invasion.\u00a0<\/p>\n

In order to do that, Britain and France decided to take on a policy of appeasement to avoid conflict. Hitler saw that he could use this policy as an advantage to himself and his plans. The policy was seen in quite a bad light after\u00a0English Prime Minister Neville Chamberlain met with Hitler at Berchtesgaden. He essentially gave Hitler\u00a0all of the Sudetenland without ever consulting with the Czech government. Once Hitler got what he wanted he completely dismembered\u00a0Czechoslovakia.<\/p>\n

Due to this, Hitler was able to\u00a0invade France through the Ardennes, France – something the Allies thought he would never do.

However, Hitler wasn’t done just yet. He forced France to surrender in the same carriage that Germany surrendered 22 years before.

The Americans held some pretty racist and ignorant views against the Japanese, causing them to greatly underestimate them. This is one of the biggest reasons America was so unprepared when Pearl Harbor was bombed. Americans assumed that the Japanese were behind in technological advances and many newspapers and magazines portrayed them in a horrible light. They also assumed that the Japanese weren’t very skilled aviators, which eventually led them to being quite vulnerable when the Japanese did attack.\u00a0<\/p>\n

11. The German Blitz\u00a0<\/h2>\nImage: list25.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nOne of the biggest mistakes that the Allies made was constantly underestimating Hitler’s actions and plans. Due to this, Hitler was able to\u00a0invade France through the Ardennes, France – something the Allies thought he would never do. This led to the German Blitzkrieg, known today as one of the most devastating military defeats of the 20th century. This eventually forced France to surrender to Hitler. However, Hitler wasn’t done just yet. He forced France to surrender in the same carriage that Germany surrendered 22 years before. Hitler even toured around Paris and took a photo in front of the Eiffel Tower.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\nGermany had barely any fighting power there, so the American and British troops were able to easily complete many of their objectives. This allowed to move 4 miles inland in a short amount of time. However, instead of taking the initiative to use the lack of German preparation to their advantage, the troops decided to wait on moving toward Rome. This allowed the Germans to prepare and led to one of the bloodiest fights in the war.\u00a0<\/p>\n

On January 22, 1944, British and American troops landed on the shores of\u00a0Italy near Anzio and Nettuno.
\nGermany had barely any fighting power there, so the American and British troops were able to easily complete many of their objectives. This allowed to move 4 miles inland in a short amount of time. However, instead of taking the initiative to use the lack of German preparation to their advantage, the troops decided to wait on moving toward Rome. This allowed the Germans to prepare and led to one of the bloodiest fights in the war.\u00a0<\/p>\n

8. Americans Didn’t Adopt The Convoy System\u00a0<\/h2>\nImage: list25.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBritish forces had been dealing with the Germans and their U-Boats for quite some time and they were prepared to combat them with a unique system known as the Convoy System. However, since the Americans had joined in on the war so late, the United States didn’t adopt this system until 1942. This turned out to be a huge liability throughout the war and cost the Allies a lot of lost lives and tactical errors.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Next, we have an American general whose early mistakes almost cost the U.S. the war…<\/p>\n

Eisenhower served as\u00a0an American army general throughout World War 2. He was a five-star general who has been dubbed one of America’s greatest generals. However, did you know that his start in the war was far from prestigious. He was met with many errors and was responsible for a great number of logistical errors. He also failed to lead in combat operations.\u00a0British contemporary Field Marshal Alan Brooke grew increasingly frustrated with Eisenhower and criticized him harshly, saying,\u00a0\u201cNice chap, no general.\u201d<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
6. French Army’s Disorganization\u00a0<\/h2>\nImage: list25.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe French army’s lack of organization was one of the biggest reasons that the Germans were able to attack so easily. The French failed to participate in the\u00a0German blitzkrieg strategy in an appropriate way as they were not prepared. Blitzkrieg strategies are extremely vulnerable to flanking and counter-attacks, a strategy that the Russians had worked hard to developed. This lack of strategy and organization led to their surrender.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
5. FDR & Unconditional Surrender\u00a0<\/h2>\nImage: list25.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nFDR quickly proved that talking “too big” can actually make a situation worse rather than better. In January of 1943, Roosevelt and Churchill met near Casablanca. During a press meeting, FDR\u00a0called for the \u201cunconditional surrender\u201d of Germany. This took Churchill completely by surprise as he knew that this would end up costing more lives of the troops and he was right. This statement forced the Germans to begin fighting even more desperately!\u00a0<\/p>\n

4. Not Enough American Submarines\u00a0<\/h2>\nImage: list25.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nThe Submarine Service of the United States represented only 1.6% of all Navy personnel during the war. However, they were also responsible for\u00a0over 55% of all Japanese ships sunk. Although this is quite impressive it also presents us with a huge blindspot that the American Navy had. The Germans had been using U-Boats since World War I and there was no reason why the US couldn’t have adopted a strategy to attack the German U-Boats in the same fashion. This could have helped end the war much sooner.<\/p>\n

3. Dunkirk\u00a0<\/h2>\nImage: list25.com<\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIn today’s history, Dunkirk is considered a major success story as the mission was able to rescue\u00a0hundreds of thousands of British soldiers from enemy territory. However, did you know that it was also one of the most massive military disasters?\u00a0The 400,000 British troops stationed in Belgium were left to fight against the Germans. However, they were quickly surrounded and it was all due to poor planning and a lack of leadership. If the mission hadn’t been a success, the war might have turned out much differently…<\/p>\n
