- Untold Stories of D-Day: This website is unbelievable. It provides an entirely different look at D-day. It gives first hand accounts of soldiers who didn't really want to fight in WW2. This really gives a whole different insight on this whole topic. And the website was created by National Geographic, so I would think that it should be credible.
- June 6, 1944 - D Day Landings: This website is interesting. It gives a visual time line of D-day. Personally it helps me to see how everything happened during D-day. It really helps me to understand and visualize the happenings of D-day. This website doesn't list an author, but it does say that it is from the U.S. National archives, so I believe that it is credible and would be helpful.
- A Brief History of D-Day, D-Day, Social Studies, Glencoe: This website is an article out of a Social Studies book. It just covers a brief history over D-day and doesn't go into much detail. This website wouldn't really be that useful for finding information, because it is pretty generalized. Although it isn't very helpful, i do believe that it is credible.
- Invasion of Normandy, June 6, 1944: This website is very descriptive and also includes drawings. It has great visualizations of how the attack of D-day was initiated. Although it is an interesting website it also has some graphic pictures of battle wounds. The websites author is Ronald Drez. Since it has an author and also cites multiple books I believe that it is a credible website.
- Dday History: This website isn't anything special. All it gives is an overview of the weapons and technology involved with D-day. It really doesn't have much information in it at all. It is also a free edit page so i highly doubt its credibility.
- Military History Online - D-Day June 6, 1944: This website is quite different from the other ones. It actually talks about D-day from a German viewpoint. It discusses how the Germans were actually anticipating the Allies Invasion so that the Allie problem could be dealt with. The authors of this website are John Barret and Brian Williams. Since they were Veterans of D-day i think that it is a trustworthy site.
- Encyclopedia Britannica's Guide to Normandy 1944: This website is very cool. It has a collection of spoken recollections of D-day from veterans. It is truly unbelievable to hear what is was like from a first person perspective. To hear the emotion in their words is also pretty amazing. This website was created by the Encyclopedia Britannica so it seems credible. This website has a lot of very interesting information.
- D-Day: This website will blow your mind! It has all of the recordings and reports from D-day. It is all listed right out of the official Eisenhower Library too. This website has tons of information about the events leading up to D-day as well as what happened afterwords. This seems to be a very credible website because it was created by the Government.
- American Rhetoric: Dwight D. Eisenhower - D-Day Preinvasion Address to ...: This is a truly interesting website. It shows the orders that were given to all of the servicemen that were to fight during D-day. It is the actual letters from Eisenhower himself. It was created by the American Rhetoric Speech center. It directly shows the words off of the original document so i think that it is a credible website.
