Germans Dismissed An Invasion Without Ports — Until Americans Built A Harbor From Scratch Overnight

Discover the untold story of D-Day's secret weapon: the Mulberry Harbors, massive artificial ports built from scratch and towed across the English Channel in 1944. This comprehensive historical documentary reveals how Allied engineers accomplished the impossible, constructing two complete floating harbors in just eight months while fighting World War 2. Learn how 45,000 workers built 213 massive concrete caissons weighing over 6,000 tons each, creating portable harbors that handled 2.5 million troops and 4 million tons of supplies. Explore the engineering genius of Winston Churchill's vision, the catastrophic lessons from the Dieppe Raid, Field Marshal Rommel's Atlantic Wall defenses, and why German High Command never anticipated this revolutionary solution. Featuring verified accounts from Royal Engineers, detailed statistics on the Phoenix caissons and Whale floating roadways, and Albert Speer's post-war admission that 17 million cubic meters of concrete fortifications were defeated by "simple genius." From the devastating June 1944 storm that destroyed Mulberry A at Omaha Beach to Port Winston's ten-month operation at Arromanches, this is the complete factual account of history's greatest military engineering achievement. Perfect for World War 2 history enthusiasts, military engineering students, D-Day researchers, and anyone fascinated by Operation Overlord, naval warfare innovation, and how the Allies won WW2 through industrial ingenuity. 100% historically accurate with sources from Imperial War Museums, Veterans Affairs Canada, McMaster University archives, and official military records.
