Default 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:

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.
