5. Historians believe that several things could have happened in Europe, had the invasion of France failed? Name three.

This June, seventy-five years will have passed since the largest invasion fleet in the history of warfare landed on five beachheads in Normandy, France. On Tuesday, 6 June 1944, D-day kicked off the Allied operation to liberate Western Europe from Nazi control. As history tells us, Operation Overlord was a success as Allied forces managed to breach Hitler’s impregnable ‘Fortress Europe’. Within a year, the man himself would be dead and his forces defeated.

The supreme commander of the Allied forces, American General Dwight D. Eisenhower, had the final say on whether to launch D-day or not. When he gave the order to go, he simultaneously drafted a statement in the event the mission failed. It read, ‘Our landings in the Cherbourg-Havre area have failed to gain a satisfactory foothold and I have withdrawn the troops. My decision to attack at this time and place was based upon the best information available. The troops, the air, and the navy did all that bravery and devotion to duty could do. If any blame or fault is attached to the attempt it is mine alone.’

What if Eisenhower had needed to issue that statement? What if D-day had failed, what would have happened next? Whilst one is faced with a myriad of possibilities when diving into the world of alternative history, here are three potential scenarios for you to ponder.
