text:  The British and Canadians were given gold, Juno, and sword. Plan set for 4 or 5 June, but bad weather forced Eisenhower to delay to the 6th. That's a well-known story, which really helped. People don't realize that the Germans saw the bad weather as like, well, the Allies aren't going to attack now. In fact, even some of the air defense units stood down, and Rommel actually flies off to Berlin to convince Hitler he needs reinforcements. So Rommel's not even there when the attack begins. So the bad weather really played to the Allies' plan here, too.
