Saw all the views and no responses - figured everyone here are moonbats who went to schools that don't teach history and were wondering what a D-Day was!

I dunno, but I will go on the limb that if Rommel hadn't falled for FORTITUDE, he could have pushed the Allies out of the hedgerows and back to the beaches.

actually if romell had actually been in charge of everything having to do with the invasion it could have been different.  but it would not have stopped it completely. by then Germany had lost most of their hard core soldiers and the new ones were not willing to die. also airforce was mostly gone and German navy was not around.

None of the above really.  D definitely stood for "Day," just as "H" stood for Hour, so in that way it is redundant.  On the other hand, it was usually a relative measurement, so D-1 was the day before your reference, and D+1 was the day after.  D+0 or D-0 is longer and more awkward to say, so you just make it D Day.
