For almost two years the military minds of the
Allied nations plotted, planned and prepared for
the assualt on Occupied Europe.
THROUGHOUT HISTORY there have been few events upon which
so much depended as the Allied landings in Normandy on D-Day,
6 June 1944. On that day, Allied forces had to establish a foothold
on Hitler’s Europe wide enough and deep enough for the follow-
up troops and equipment to be landed that would enable General
Montgomery’s men to break out of the beachhead. There would
be no second chance. There was no ground to fall back on, no
avenue of retreat. If Europe was to be liberated, if the war against
Germany was to be won, the men that waded through the surf
and stumbled up the beaches under the muzzles of the enemy
guns simply had to succeed.
The amphibious assault was only one element of the enormous
Overlord operation. Allied airborne forces dropped behind the
enemy’s lines, to capture bridges, road junctions and coastal
defence batteries. Warships bombarded the German positions,
whilst Allied aircraft cleared the skies of the enemy.
In this publication we have concentrated exclusively on the
events of 6 June 1944, presenting a complete picture of all that
occurred on that fateful day - those twenty-four hours that
changed the war.
10 THE AIRBORNE ASSAULT
The first men into action on French soil in the
early hours of 6 June 1944, were those who arrived
from the sky.
26 UTAH BEACH
The most westerly of the D-Day assault beaches,
Utah had not originally been part of the invasion
plan drawn up in the winter of 1943.
46 OMAHA BEACH
In what would prove to be a grim irony, Omaha,
the bloodiest of the D-Day beaches, had originally
been selected because it was virtually undefended,
68 JUNO BEACH
Ten minutes after the landings began on Sword
Beach, the Canadian 3rd Infantry Division waded
ashore on Juno Beach.
88 OPERATION NEPTUNE
The naval element of the D-Day landings was
described by Admiral Ramsay as the greatest
amphibious operation in history.
Martin Mace,
Editor.
90 GOLD BEACH
The most westerly of the Anglo-Canadian invasion
zones, Gold Beach was at the centre of the Allied
assault on the Normandy coast
106 WAR IN THE AIR
Such was its scale, Operation Overlord involved
the most heavy and concentrated air war in the
history of the world .
120 THE ROAD TO BERLIN
Despite the success of D-Day, it would be many
months before the Germans finally succumbed
and signed an unconditional surrender.
