Did Great Britain win during d-day?
Do you mean in the beach head or battles after the landings? If the landings which beach? If after the landings what battle.(I'm being quite hard arn't I?) With my knowledge the D-Day landings were all helped by the 101st airborne an American unit so really they did in the long run. They got hammered but they won.(I think) :/ D Day was, by & large, successful from the point of the Allies. Both the US & British used parachute forces on the flanks. I think it is quite true that Montgomery, in charge of the British actually 'pulled the panzer forces on' in Operation Goodwood which allowed Patton to lead the breakout, Operation Cobra.
