In my opinion, the biggest allied blunder on D-Day was not providing smoke screens to cover the allied landing forces. Strategically placed smoke rounds in front of gun positions, landing craft with smoke generators, and smoke pots for landing infantry could have greatly reduced allied casualties, facillitated more rapid organization on the beaches, and given the troops a better chance…especially the first wave. The allies were able to muster sufficient WP to bomb the city of Dresden. They certainly could have provided smoke screens for the first wave.
