Strategic discussion about D-day
Pardon for this extra bit.
While Googling:
"Fear of Submarine attacks, before an during D-Day landings"
As the Navy was moving ships, men, on the morning of the invasion.
Transport, equipment, etc. If all went well???
Found this about, British Midget Subs:

http://www.submarine-museum.co.uk/hms-alliance/119?start=1
I thought I read somewhere, an actual commando group/s landed on each beach, months earlier, to take readings, of the ground cover, for the landing of men, or more so Tanks, etc.??
Though not about D Day:

I am sure you, many of you knew this.
Hope you don't mind.
And that, I am not wasting your time, with something you may have already known.
