Ambrose condemns the political system in Germany because it presented soldiers with little options in time of warfare. Germans were not allowed to act in accordance to their own thinking in critical times, as they were always required to respond to orders, regardless of the irrationality of those respective orders. The writer uses Germany's totalitarian system as proof that Americans were superior. In his opinion, the fact that they were free to express themselves any time they had the chance to do so rendered Americans more capable of emerging successful from a series of events that took place on June 6, 1944. In spite of the fact that Ambrose nonetheless managed to produce an accurate history book relating to the landings in Normandy, his writing would have probably been more convincing if he were to describe German troops to the same degree to which he described Americans.

It is almost impossible for the reader not to be influenced by the methods employed by Ambrose as he relates to American thinking. From his perspective, Americans were able to triumph because they were raised knowing that warfare was immoral and that there was nothing glorious about it. In contrast, Germans were severely influenced during Hitler's regime, as they came to believe that war was essential for them to display their superior abilities.

4. a. Chapter 15, "We'll start the war from right here"

B. The chapter describes the progress experienced by the 4th Infantry Division as it completed its mission of taking Utah beach. The military group landed further away from where it was expected to land and thus encountered little to no resistance. As a result of its success, Brigardier General...

Instead of remaining unsettled along the coast, the American troops managed to achieve success through advancing rapidly inland and securing most of its strategic points.
C. Ambrose succeeds in putting across a complete account of what happened on Utah beach at the place where the 4th Division landed because he relates to all the major points of the event, lasting from the moment of landing and until the time when the troops started to move inland with the purpose of meeting airborne groups scattered across the territory.

D. The writer however fails from making readers understand all the factors involved because he virtually ignores the perspective of the few German troops guarding Utah beach.

E. It is likely that the chapter would have provided readers with a more thorough account of what happened during these events if it were to put across the battle from the perspective of the British, the Canadians, or the Germans involved in it.

A. Chapter 25, "It was just fantastic"

B. The chapter details an afternoon on Omaha beach, which in spite of the fact that is under heavy fire has been successfully captured by Allied troops. Germans are pressing hard on the beach and it is extremely difficult and almost impossible for American troops to move inland. In spite of the terror on the beach Americans are virtually indifferent to conditions and are simply moving on with their mission.

C. From Ambrose's point-of-view, Germans are powerless and even ridiculous in wanting to retaliate. The writer presents Hitler's armies as
