D-Day & Battle of Normandy
This is a place for assembling all issues taking place during D-Day or the Battle of Normandy (June 6-August 21, 1944). At this early stage I just copy/paste issues supposedly taking place during this time frame in no particular order and without inferring that they do relate to D-Day or the Battle of Normandy. Timely comics will certainly not.

Re: D-Day & Battle of Normandy
Not really related to the war, but there's a panel in Contest of Champions III 1/2 (4&5:4) dated July 1944, where Odette Sauvage becomes the fifth Guillotine. I also have a note for a flashback dated August 2 1944 in Captain America 2001 Annual, but i don't have the details at hand.

Re: D-Day & Battle of Normandy
If it helps placing events of WWII, when they wrote the Bibliography fonline for the OHOTMU Hardcover, they placed nearly complete dates (month and year, occassionally specific date) for Captain America and Namor. The dates seem to be based upon there being a three month separation between the Publication Date and the Historical Date.
CAPTAIN AMERICA
http://web.archive.org/web/200809261433 ... in_America
NAMOR
http://web.archive.org/web/200809261550 ... ub-Mariner
The same was done for Rawhide Kid, the historical years in which events happened were based upon the publication date of the story (unless superceded by actual histoircal date). This can probably be used for other Western era characters.

The SECWARR 17-FB-FB, published August 2010, are a contracted version of the DR:NN-FB, published February 2009.
Re: D-Day & Battle of Normandy
Just looking at the first days of the landing, Captain America (and Sgt Fury to a lesser degree) might be involved in too many actions.
Fury leads a commando action on June 5, destroying installations all night then returns to the beach to help the landing troops.
Yet in DR:NN (shortened in SECWARR 17) they're on a landing craft headed to Omaha with Captain America.
Captain America also lands with regular troops of the first wave to Omaha in CATOW:ATB (16 - 17).
He's also landing in CA:REBORN 1 (1 - 3).
In addition to these at least two or three landings, Cap is involved in an earlier commando action with Bucky where they disable automated guns in order to "set the stage for D-Day." (CA 109)
He's also involved with holding the Benouville "Pegasus" Bridge (far away from Omaha, the troops only connected on June 12). (CA:Empyre 2)
In M/CP2 6/3 (1) he's also parachuting (no mention of June 44 or Normandy though).
So it seems both he and Fury must have returned to the beaches after their respective commando operations, gotten on the returning boats and hit the beach again.
In M/CP2 6/3 (8) and CATOW:ATB (20 - 32)-FB he's storming defenses. In SIEGE:CA 1-FB Bucky is alongside him.
In CA:REBORN 1 (26 - 27) and Ravencroft 4 (10:3)-FB he contemplates the devastation.
Later the Invaders and All Winners Squad have a toast in Ste Mère l'Eglise in ALLWS:BH 4-FB.
IH2 284 France 1944, the "Nazi push against Allied lines" refers to the Battle of the Bulge (Dec 16, 1944 - Jan 25, 1945) rather than to Normandy.
CA 616/8 June 44, where Captain America and Union Jack hold a town in preparation for the allied advance from the Omaha beachhead, should be closer to D-Day. (It took 3 days for landing troops to reach their objective.) It starts a couple of days after D-Day and lasts for a few days. The action of holding a bridge is similar to Captain America: Empyre 2-FB.
I think TOS 69-71 does not belong there. It starts in England before "the big push" or "big drive" (meaning D-Day, cf. "awaiting the big push" in CATOW:ATB (14:3 - 15:6)-FB). Bucky stays in England and gets captured while Rogers lands in army uniform. It shows ships "striking out for a nazi-held port," a "coastal town" and later "beleaguered Rangers" trying to return to the beach. This seems to be loosely based on either the Dieppe raid or the St Nazaire raid, both from 1942. Those raids established that attacking ports was too risky for a landing. This can be a fictional raid but the need of the Rangers to reach the beach before nazi troops capture them places this before D-Day.
Once you remove the misplaced stories I mentioned, it should be possible to fit everything. I've located a single reference with hour-by-hour details for June 6-8 and day-by-day afterwards rather than the piecemeal articles I had for various operations.
There was a deadly rehearsal on April 28, 1944 that could be used as a substitute.

EMPYRE:CA 2-FB
The flashback in Empyre: Captain America 2 (8:4 - 9:2) presents a bit of a conundrum. In this flashback, Cap is at the capture of Benouville Bridge, which occured just after midnight on D-Day, June 6 1944, the gliders having taken off at around 23:00 on June 5. Problem is, TOS 69/2 clearly establishes that Cap was with the ground force troops on the Channel crossing during June 5-6.
How to solve this conundrum? I don't see putting it down to a faulty memory. I'm sure Cap would remember whether he crossed the Channel by sea or air on D-Day. A made-up tale to help the morale of his troops? Unlikely, as Cap would have been in dozens of actual similar situations, which he could have drawn upon.
We do see Cap onboard ship in TOS 69/2, but we don't see him at the actual landing. I suppose Cap could have been airlifted from the ship and returned to England to join the 6th Airborne, but i don't see how this could have been achieved without seriously compromising his secret identity. Is there a possibility of time travel? That would allow for Cap to literally be in two places at once.
Cap is seen at an identical bridge in CA 616/8, which is placed after the D-Day landings in Cap's chronology. If all else fails, we could probably place the flashback immediately prior to this, for convenience. We could possibly assume the Benouville Bridge had to be re-taken in the Marvel Universe. I've noted elsewhere that the War seems to unfold slightly differently in the MU, compared to our world.
Suggestions?

Re: EMPYRE:CA 2-FB
This is something I've been working on for months, assembling timelines and data.
You can see the problems here: viewtopic.php?p=64250#p64250
Before organizing the D-Day sequences my priority is to remove from June 1944 those that do not belong there. Those include IH2 284 and TOS 69-71.
I've ordered several books on D-Day and a Michelin map to see what I can do but I won't be able to provide a solution anytime soon. Everybody is welcome to contribute, a sounding board can help speed my thinking process.

Re: D-Day & Battle of Normandy
Thanks Leoparis, i thought i'd read something about this before, but couldn't find it in the main forum. It was over in Issue Analysis, and since it's relevant to the discussion, i've taken the liberty of copying it here for convenience. Also, that link to the D-Day timeline is very convenient. I use that timeline myself.

Timeline:
00:07 – German sentries spot low-flying aircraft north of Carentan in the Cotentin Peninsula.
00:16 – The first of the 3 British gliders lands less than 50 meters from the bridge of Bénouville, the Pegasus Bridge.
00:17 – The second of the 3 British gliders lands near the bridge of the Pegasus Bridge.
00:18 – The last of the 3 Horsa gliders lands near the Pegasus bridge.
00:21 – Major Howard and his men storm the Pegasus bridge.
00:35 – 2 Horsa gliders land near the Ranville bridge (Horsa Bridge). The 3rd glider planned for the operation is missing.
00:50 – The 5th Brigade of the 6th British Airborne Division commanded by General Nigel Poett is dropped near Ranville.
02:05 – The 1. Panzerjaeger Kompanie of the 716th Infantry Regiment leaves Biéville to patrol along the Orne canal in the direction of the Bénouville and Ranville bridges.
02:30 – Serious fighting is taking place in the locality of Ranville between the British airborne troops of the 6th Airborne and the German soldiers of the 716th Infantry and the 21st Panzer Division.
– An armored vehicle from the 1. Panzerjaeger-Kompanie of the 716th German infantry division is destroyed on the Caen-Ouistreham crossroads in Bénouville by a PIAT of the 7th battalion (6th Airborne Division).
03:00 – Lieutenant Braatz of the 21st Panzer Division is heading for Bénouville and the Pegasus Bridge to counter-attack.
03:10 – The 8./(Schwere) Pz.Gren.- Kompanie 192 is sent to reinforce in the area of Bénouville.
03:20 – General Gale, commander of the 6th Airborne Division, is parachuted with his staff above the “N” jump zone near Ranville, as part of Operation Tonga.
03:35 – 55 Horsa gliders containing forces destined for the 6th British Airborne Division land as part of Operation Tonga in the Ranville area.
05:25 – Three German gunboats fleeing from Ouistreham on the Canal de Caen are intercepted by the men of Major Howard at the Pegasus Bridge: one is destroyed, another is stranded nearby, and the third takes refuge further north in the area of Le Maresquier.
05:58 – Sunrise.
06:30 – General Feuchtinger, leader of the 21st German Panzer Division, gives the order to attack the bridgehead of the 6th Airborne British Division beyond the Orne river.
10:00 – General Edgar Feuchtinger is ordered to counter-attack with his tanks along the river Orne against the British paratroopers of the 6th Airborne Division.
12:02 – The British commandos of the 1st Special Service Brigade led by Lord Lovat (Simon Fraser) reach the Bénouville Bridge (Pegasus Bridge), held since night by the glidermen of the 6th Airborne Division. Lord Lovat apologizes to Major Howard for being two minutes and thirty seconds late.
20:51 – The last elements of the 6th airborne division land with 256 gliders on the landing zones of Ranville – LZ N – and northwest of Bénouville – LZ W – (operation Mallard).
Fighters of the 6th Airborne Division were waiting for new counter-attacks and upgrading their defensive positions overnight. The next day, June 7, the Germans attacked, using tanks and artillery. Ranville was assaulted by Major Hans-Ulrich von Luck at the head of the Panzer-Grenadier-Regiment 125: the Allied armada made several barrage fires that stopped these counter-offensives. The front on the east bank of the Orne river remained static until the launch of the operation Paddle on August 17, 1944.

Re: D-Day & Battle of Normandy
1. Nearly all those sequences are personal first-person memories from the modern Captain America. So the decoy gambit does not help.loki wrote: ↑Tue Oct 11, 2022 9:38 am Options:
1. Decoys. There's real world precedent for using doubles to fool the Nazis around D-Day.
2. (Previously unmentioned) Clones. They're not just a modern day problem.
3. Teleportation. When you just need to get there immediately.
4. Time travel. Dumbledore lent Fury and Cap a pair of time turners (and don't say Dumbledore's not in 616 - Harry Potter is:
2. Same problem as 1. Clones would have to be like Madrox duplicates, able to get absorbed so as to transmit their memories.
3. If Captain America had teleportation tech in 1944, we'd know it. And even if he had it would not make sense to have landed in France prior to D-Day and then teleport twice on the landing barges on the morning.
4. I guess that's my best line of investigation. We don't have time turners but we have time travel stories including one where there were two Captain Americas in France in 1944 (December, Ardennes). He's also crossing his own timeline and meeting Bucky in CA:BB (Hitler's retreat, year unknown). The mind of the contemporary Cap in his WWII body also meets Bucky in CA:REBORN 1 on D-Day.
In IH2 284 (1983) the present-day Captain America finds himself in the Battle of the Bulge but forgets he's not from that time period. If I can make it work I rather like the idea that Cap from IH2 284 was actually sent back to D-Day in June and stayed all this time in France until December 1944 when he was picked up by the Avengers. But how do I explain he never crosses his temporal double? A possibility is that the original Captain America with Bucky is fighting with the Invaders and going all over the world (as shown in Timely Comics) and the amnesiac one staying with a regular army unit in France.
In Bicentennial Battles (1976) Cap finds himself at key points of US history. D-Day should be one of these key points. But this Cap never forgot he was from the future so I have to be careful with what scenes I can fit within CA:BB.
With these two time travels, I can get three Captain Americas during D-Day so far. I need at least three.
Other time travels to consider:
ASM:EDAY /9-FB sends Cap to Gettysburg in 1863 via the Cosmic Cube. Can we infer he found himself on the D-Day battlefield as well? Too hard to use. This is the 1966 Captain America time traveling.
CA:MOOT 4-5 is Kang sending the 1964 Cap to resume his 1945 life. I don't think I can use that one as the story makes it clear Cap arrives on V-J Day.
In A 56 (Sep 1968) Cap travels to April 1945 and first appears as a ghost (start of this trend). I don't see how I can use that one either.
Cap also finds his present consciousness in his past body during D-Day in CA:REBORN with the ability to change his actions if he wishes to do so. The question is, would that mean both his actions (the original one and the revised one) coexist in the same timeline? He could embark with regular soldiers in CATOW:ATB and then with the Howling Commandos in DR:NN. But Reborn hardly bears out such a hypothesis.
CATOW:GOMC also shows soldiers from history represented as Captain America but they're not actually Captain America. It wouldn't work for first-person memories but could prove useful for some scenes.
Any other time travel stories I should be thinking of?
Three Caps may be enough:
One who sabotages German installations just before D-Day (CA 109)
One who lands with regular soldiers CATOW:ATB
One who lands with the Howling Commandos DR:NN
One, the original from 1944, needs to be the one with Bucky (CA 109)
One, from IH2 284, needs to be alone and amnesiac CATOW:ATB (16 - 17).
One, FROM CA:BB, needs to be conscious he's from the future CA:REBORN 1 (1 - 3) and DR:NN.

Re: D-Day & Battle of Normandy
I think this one is particularly useful. We see Cap and the other Avengers scattered throughout time in IH2 283, then he's already fighting at what is most likely supposed to be the Battle of the Bulge when Hulk & She-Hulk appear. There's nothing to say how long this Cap had already been in this time-line, and he could easily have found himself in France on D-Day, and been fighting with the regular army between IH2 283 & 284.Leoparis wrote: ↑Sat Oct 29, 2022 3:57 amIn IH2 284 (1983) the present-day Captain America finds himself in the Battle of the Bulge but forgets he's not from that time period.
