Good to hear from you again @wittmann007 and @bothi .  Oh, and yes the sun came up earlier on the more easterly beaches, but the optimum tide conditions were actually 30-45 minutes later.  For this reason, landings on Gold, Juno, and Sword were set to kick off about half an hour later than on Omaha and Utah.

As far as everything else goes, treat the German soldier with respect, great the Allied solider with respect, never forget the civilians, done.  Everything else starts to devolve into identity politics.
