Country: | he wouldn't find a wife, the one woman in there would be indistingishable from a man and would be the first to punch him in the face

Country: | Back to the What If, A question about Normandy, would the landings have been repelled if the guns on Point De hawk were in place and firing on the beaches?
With that, would it have mattered to have the German armor moving at first contact, not hours latter?

Yes a battleship would have taken longer to knock the guns out, but BB shells with airstrikes would have maybe not knocked out the guns but made them inoperable. The reason why the the Rangers landed here was really to be able to get behind the guns and do a blocking position behind the guns.
As far as the armour, with Allied air supremacy those tanks would have been sitting turtles whether the Little Corporal or not had realeased them to Rommel.

Country:  | Agreed in order for the landings to have been destroyed, the Luftwaffe would have had to have shown up on D-Day.

On D-day the Luftwaffe (I think) made around 2000 sorties to the allies 15000+. For damage to be done, they would have to have shown up in numbers, which they didn't. It didn't matter where the Panzers where, what mattered was the air superioty without D-day would not have succeeded, that was once of the main reasons in the postponement of D-day to the 6th anyway below the required level of visibility required for the planes as well as poor sea conditions.

Country: | They may have done 2000 sorties on June 6, 1944 but as far as I know only 2 flights were made over the beaches. Please correct me if I am wrong.

| Ja my friend. "Pips" Priller and his wingman did one strafing pass over the British beaches in thier Fw-190s. Just as an aside, in the movie the Longest Day this incident was shown but the planes were Me-108s the fav 109 impostor!

:{) | I would think the fav 109 imposter be the Ha-1112's. They have been used in many films including The Battle of Britain and Memphis Belle. They look much closer to a 109 than a 108 also.
