Here is a list of D-Days I put together for a paper I was working on. Let us not forget Dieppe on 19 August, 1942 (12 after the Guadalcanal landings) as well. It didn't get much worse than that.

 

One thing I just noticed - the Normandy landings weren't on the list because it was a comparison of the Overlord Landings and other landings in the Med and Pacific. Also, there may have been mistakes/omissions in the units in the consolidation process. Forgive me if your unit was left out! There just notes after all!

 

Just noticed another goof. Any serious student of WWII would know that Iwo Jima was part of the Bonin Islands and not the Ryukyu chain. I guess I hit Paste once too many. :doh:
