Nick Hewitt: 诺曼底登陆是历史上最大规模、最复杂的登陆作战,如同一个巨大的俄罗斯方块游戏,需要将大量的舰船、飞机和士兵在同一时间、同一地点集合起来。参与行动的舰船种类繁多,从小型登陆艇到大型改装后的客轮,规模空前。 Giles Milton: 登陆舰队被分成五个分舰队,分别对应五个登陆滩头,这使得在恶劣天气和黑暗环境下,依靠有限的通讯手段保持数千艘舰船的协同作战变得极其复杂。这体现了指挥官们高超的海上指挥能力。 Andrew Whitmarsh: 二战前的登陆作战通常效率低下且混乱,士兵们常常需要从大型划艇中艰难地爬上岸,容易造成人员伤亡和行动迟缓。而希金斯船的出现彻底改变了这种状况,它轻便、吃水浅,极大地提高了登陆效率。 Tom Renouf: 在诺曼底登陆前,士兵们对即将到来的胜利充满希望和期待,各个城镇都挤满了来自不同国家的士兵,大家彼此肩并肩,共同期待着伟大的时刻。 Charles Eagles: 登陆艇上的条件极其拥挤和恶劣,士兵们像沙丁鱼一样挤在一起,空气中弥漫着汗水和机油的恶臭。这使得士兵们在登陆前就经历了极大的身心考验。 Harold Addy: D日当天的天气状况恶劣,狂风暴雨,这给登陆行动带来了巨大的挑战。许多士兵在登陆前就因为晕船呕吐而筋疲力尽。 Joshua Levine: 盟军使用了名为“堡垒行动”的欺骗战术,利用箔条模拟舰队,迷惑敌人的雷达,掩盖了真正的登陆地点。
