Question 2, Does Churchill's description of the operation (source B) support the evidence of sources C and E?

        Churchill's description of the operation, source B, in some cases supports the evidence that the operation of D-day was a difficult and complicated one. Source C does support this. The papers on Churchill's desk are messy and untidy, which suggests it was complicated, also his cigar smoke forming a question mark shape suggests D-day was difficult to plan. However, source E suggests quite the opposite. The plan looks very straight forward and simple. There is no evidence to show the devastation of D-day. Source B also suggests that there was lots of people involved and that it was a huge operation. Source C does infer that it was big, because of the importance put on Churchill, but it doesn't seem as though many people are involved only four people are in the picture. Alternatively, source E does suggest it was both a big operation and lots of people were involved. There is lots going on in the map, and although the map has no scale, you can tell that it is over a very big area.

Also, there is army landings away from the parachutes, which infers the involvement of the army.
