A fascinating photographic guide
By May 1944, more than 2.8 million Allied troops were amassed in southern England, waiting for the largest seaborne invasion of history. More than 1,200 planes were ready to deliver specialist airborne troops behind enemy lines.
Here is a photographic exploration of this monumental military and political event. The book is divided into chapters covering the first days of the landings on the five beaches: Omaha, Utah, Gold, Juno, and Sword; separate chapters cover the airborne landings of the famous American 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions and the British 6th Airborne, as well as the crucial help of French Resistance fighters in providing intelligence and disrupting German communications and supply lines.
