- Next week marks 80 years since the D-Day landings, which are seen as a crucial turning point in World War Two.
But it could have ended in disaster were it not for a weather report from Ireland.
The forecast, from a 21-year-old postmistress Maureen Sweeney, postponed the offensive by two days, saving thousands of allied lives.
Sky's Senior Ireland Correspondent, David Blevins, reports from County Mayo.

Today they can’t tell this afternoons weather…..
Rip to all the heros, thanks to all the soldiers, both of my great grandfather's were sergeant majors and one was a prisoner in the war. What they would want is all foreigners to leave the country they fought and died for, they'd want all politicians in prison, they'd want university's completely changed, and England to go back to being tough, right wing and great again
👏 Spot On.
Good man for saying it as it is.
England for the English.
Never fails to amaze me, the amount of little stories thst played a part in the allies eventually winning the war. Winning is a terrible word. Nobody won anything.
Exactly, we lost our country and the end result is what the west has become now.
Your Insulting our Great Grand parents. Only the Gutless of today would do that.
Wrong
@@T5Zplayer So did they fight to be ruled by foreigners and for their grandkids to be a minority in their country?
😂😂😂😂 wet wipe
Speaking of the weather, what’s happened to the -Clown- Climate Show? it was comedy gold. I miss it.
Totally different class of generation. Now they would build a Burberry harbour
They would be spinning in their graves to see modern england
Better now than it was then.
😂😂😂😂@@lyndoncmp5751
Weather often sabotages history. We got lucky on D-Day. Sometimes though others don't. History is full of incredible events, like this.
Size of the army the Anglo's faced on the western front in 1944 compared to the size of the army the Russian's defeated on the eastern fronts, not in the same ball park.
Russia shouldn't have invaded Poland, then should it.
Most of the Luftwaffe and all of the Kriegsmarine were faced by the western allies, as well as 1/3 of the panzers.
Most German Army divisions in the East were second rate poorly equipped non mechanised horse drawn rabble.
5 of the 7 Waffen SS Panzer divisions were in Normandy. Normandy saw the densest concentration of German armour ever deployed in WW2. More German tanks, assault guns and tank destroyers per mile than anywhere else, particularly around Caen.
Whenever u hear anyone talk about the queen ,
Every one’s mind automatically pictures Elizabeth
Who just passed away
The gravitas of the name queen definitely does not fit Camilla in the least
Sorry
But I feel the whole country and world feels this way
The queen has gone
So
Wind royal family down now
just changed the day, the bad guys would have lost anyway
We need to rejoin the EU peace project, it's a disgrace that we left the EU.
America believes it should lead Europe on the World Stage. Sod that.
Oddly the country that broke the Wehrmacht not invited to the commemoration of America's hasty rush to secure it's European made loans business.
Apologist nonsense
The Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine were broken in the west, and 2/3 of Germany's wartime expenditure and material resources went on the Luftwaffe and Kriegsmarine.
lol if those men could see their nations now :-) lol
Britain is still one of the greatest places on earth. Love it.
@@lyndoncmp5751 lmao ffs
@@eiranobuachail6919
Of course it is. It's fantastic. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
@@lyndoncmp5751 lol ffs
I'll repeat, it's great. I wouldn't want to live anywhere else.
Noticed non of our multicultural friends were out for d day stuff
ireland was neutral in the war - they were n't an ally
History really let Ireland get away with that one 🤷🏽♀️🖤💜
You'd want to check up on that, it's incorrect, officially neutral but lots of assistance provided, read the para headed "The Cranborne Report ": en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_neutrality_during_World_War_II
Officially neutral but it provided far more assistance than a neutral country should have, read the Cranborne Report paragraph:
en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Irish_neutrality_during_World_War_II
If it wasn’t for us, you’d be speaking German right now.
Typical American 😂😂
Don't forget the Italy campaign where we went to monte cassino which is just as important
And Australia Ireland Wales etc typical American comment
American.Patri…. If it had been left to ‘Ike’ D.Day Would have been a Disaster.
Or Russian ;)
