Without doubt, the supplies and logistics required to coordinate D-Day was nothing short of immense and amazing. From uniforms and rations to ammunition, medical supplies and an assortment of planes, ships, tanks, jeeps and trucks, supplies ultimately added up to more than 5 million tons and took approximately two years to accumulate. The Americans reportedly provided the majority of those supplies. In fact, Gen. Eisenhower is said to have described Great Britain in 1944 as “the greatest operating military base of all time.”
