Invasion of Normandy
The Invasion of Normandy was the invasion by and establishment of Western Allied forces in Normandy, during Operation Overlord in 1944 during World War II; the largest amphibious invasion to ever take place.
D-Day, the day of the initial assaults, was Tuesday 6 June 1944. Allied land forces that saw combat in Normandy on that day came from Canada, the Free French forces, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In the weeks following the invasion, Polish forces also participated, as well as contingents from Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, and the Netherlands. Most of the above countries also provided air and naval support, as did the Royal Australian Air Force, the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and the Royal Norwegian Navy.
The Normandy invasion began with overnight parachute and glider landings, massive air attacks and naval bombardments. In the early morning, amphibious landings on five beaches codenamed Juno, Gold, Omaha, Utah, and Sword began and during the evening the remaining elements of the parachute divisions landed. Land forces used on D-Day deployed from bases along the south coast of England, the most important of these being Portsmouth.

Operation Overlord
Operation Overlord was the code name for the Battle of Normandy, the Allied operation that launched the successful invasion of German-occupied western Europe during World War II. The operation commenced on 6 June 1944 with the Normandy landings (Operation Neptune, commonly known as D-Day). A 1,200-plane airborne assault preceded an amphibious assault involving more than 5,000 vessels. Nearly 160,000 troops crossed the English Channel on 6 June, and more than two million Allied troops were in France by the end of August.
The decision to undertake a cross-channel invasion in 1944 was taken at the Trident Conference in Washington in May 1943. General Dwight D. Eisenhower was appointed commander of Supreme Headquarters Allied Expeditionary Force (SHAEF), and General Bernard Montgomery was named as commander of the 21st Army Group, which comprised all the land forces involved in the invasion. The Normandy coast was chosen as the site of the invasion, with the Americans assigned to land at Utah and Omaha Beaches, the British at Sword and Gold Beaches, and the Canadians at Juno Beach. To meet the conditions expected on the Normandy beachhead, special technology was developed, including two artificial ports called Mulberry harbours and an array of specialised tanks nicknamed Hobart's Funnies. In the months leading up to the invasion, the Allies conducted a substantial military deception, Operation Bodyguard, using both electronic and visual misinformation. This misled the Germans as to the date and location of the main Allied landings. Adolf Hitler placed German Field Marshal Erwin Rommel in charge of developing fortifications all along the Atlantic Wall in anticipation of an invasion.

The Normandy Landings: June 6, 1944 | D-Day Documentary
Between 1939 and 1941, the forces of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany blazed a path of destruction, oppression and murder across the map of Europe and beyond and it seemed his ambition could never be satisfied. The world was his goal. Death was his tool. Only a badly beaten and barely holding-on Britain managed to hold back the tide long enough to guarantee that all of Europe wouldn’t be draped in a flag bearing the Swastika. And yet within three years Britain, Canada and the United States along with survivors from the fallen nations would amalgamate into a single force and in one swift move, drive a dagger into the side of Hitler’s dreams of total, European and ultimately global supremacy. That dagger was driven in on the beaches of Normandy in June 1944 and it would be twisted into a wound th...

Operation Overlord or D-Day | Past to Future
This video presents Operation Overlord or best known today as D-Day - the Allied invasion of Normandy during World War II.
By June 1940, France had fallen to the Nazis and Adolf Hitler was gloating over it as “the most famous victory in history.” With more than 300,000 British troops evacuating from the beaches of Dunkirk, in a famous speech, the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill vowed to liberate France from Nazi Germany. A year later, the German invasion against Russia made the Soviets become one of the Britain allies. Six month after that, American entered the war in an attempt to win it.
Two preliminary proposals were drawn up: Operation Sledgehammer and Operation Roundup. The latter was adopted but delayed due to the Allied invasion of French North Africa in November 1942, the invasion of Sicily in the following year, and Italy in two months after that. In December 1943, at the Tehran Conference in Iran, Roosevelt and Stalin combined against Churchill to insist on launching the invasion across the English channel within the next year.
In the months leading up to the invasion, the Allies conducted Operation Bodyguard – the overall strategy designed to mislead the Germans about the date and location of the landings. Three months later, Allied forces launched Exercise Tiger, a rehearsal for the D-Day invasion.
Between April 1 and June 5, over 11,000 aircraft were deployed, 200,000 sorties were launched and 195,000 tons of bombs were dropped on French rail centres and road networks, etc., succeeding in isolating the invasion area from the rest of France. By early June, the number of troops present in Britain reached more than 2 million Americans, along with 250,000 Canadians in preparation for the Normandy invasion. Millions of tons of supplies were shipped from America to the staging area, including 450,000 tons of ammunition.
In November 1943, aware of a threat of an invasion along France’s northern coast, Adolf Hitler appointed Erwin Rommel to spearhead defense operations in the region and finish the Atlantic Wall, a 2,400-mile fortification of bunkers, landmines and beach and water obstacles. Believing that the Allies would invade Pas de Calais (the narrowest point between Britain and France), the German heavily defended the place. In the Normandy area, the best fortifications were concentrated at the port facilities at Cherbourg and St Malo. By June 5, 1944, Rommel had been able to have some four million more mines laid on the beaches.
By dawn of June 6, U.S., British, and Canadian forces simultaneously landed on five separate beachheads of Normandy, France. The British Army landed in the east on the code-named beaches Sword and Gold. The Canadians invaded Juno beach. The American Army captured Omaha and Utah beach.
In those fateful 24 hours of June 6, approximately 156,000 Allied troops had successfully stormed Normandy beaches, and Allied casualties were at least 10,000 with more than 4,000 confirmed dead. Meanwhile, German casualties numbered at least 4,000 but some other documents claimed statistics of more than 9,000.
Although all of the Allies’ objectives have not been completed on the first day of D-Day, the operation gained a foothold that the Allies gradually expanded over the ensuing months. On June 12, the key town of Carentan was captured by US troops, allowing five Allied beachheads to be connected for the first time. A week after D-Day, the Allies had landed 327,000 troops, 54,000 vehicles and 103,000 tons of supplies in Normandy. On June 26, the Allies captured the French port of Cherbourg. A month later, the city of Caen was captured. On August 15, the Allies launched Operation Dragoon, the code name for the landing operation of the Allied invasion of Provence and liberated most of Southern France in just four weeks. 10 days later, the French capital of Paris was liberated. And just 5 days after that, the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division crossed the Seine as the Germans continued to fall back, marking the close of Operation Overlord.
On April 30 of the following year, Adolf Hitler committed suicide. On May 7, less than a year after D-Day, Germany signed its unconditional surrender. The day after that, the Allies accepted Germany’s surrender, marking the official end of World War II. This day was also announced VE Day - Victory in Europe to celebrate the end of the Second World War.

The 6th June 1944 has gone down in history as D Day, the beginning of the end of World War II. Code-named “Operation Overlord” the Normandy Invasion took the German Army completely by surprise, as British, American, Canadian, and Allied soldiers from all over the world stormed the beaches of “Utah”, “Omaha”, “Gold”, “Juno” and “Sword”. The weather was appalling and the seas of the English Channel distinctly stormy, but by bravely taking the initiative the Allies were able to liberate France and march towards Berlin and victory.
As a military operation, “Overlord” was strategically successful, but on a personal level there are many remarkable stories of courage and heroism: The acquisition of Pegasus Bridge, the wonderful welcome given by the newly liberated French, the brave rangers at Pointe du Hoc, the desperate battle for “Omaha” beach and the extraordinary Piper Bill Millin who played his bagpipes, waist deep in water, all the way from the landing craft to shore, and then onwards inland, through France.
This was a combined offensive where Army, Navy and RAF worked side-by-side, as Allied servicemen from all corners of the globe became comrades in arms.

Operation Overlord or D-Day | Past to Future
This video presents Operation Overlord or best known today as D-Day - the Allied invasion of Normandy during World War II.
By June 1940, France had fallen to the Nazis and Adolf Hitler was gloating over it as “the most famous victory in history.” With more than 300,000 British troops evacuating from the beaches of Dunkirk, in a famous speech, the British Prime Minister Winston Churchill vowed to liberate France from Nazi Germany. A year later, the German invasion against Russia made the Soviets become one of the Britain allies. Six month after that, American entered the war in an attempt to win it.
Two preliminary proposals were drawn up: Operation Sledgehammer and Operation Roundup. The latter was adopted but delayed due to the Allied invasion of French North Africa in November 1942, the invasion of Sicily in the following year, and Italy in two months after that. In December 1943, at the Tehran Conference in Iran, Roosevelt and Stalin combined against Churchill to insist on launching the invasion across the English channel within the next year.
In the months leading up to the invasion, the Allies conducted Operation Bodyguard – the overall strategy designed to mislead the Germans about the date and location of the landings. Three months later, Allied forces launched Exercise Tiger, a rehearsal for the D-Day invasion.
Between April 1 and June 5, over 11,000 aircraft were deployed, 200,000 sorties were launched and 195,000 tons of bombs were dropped on French rail centres and road networks, etc., succeeding in isolating the invasion area from the rest of France. By early June, the number of troops present in Britain reached more than 2 million Americans, along with 250,000 Canadians in preparation for the Normandy invasion. Millions of tons of supplies were shipped from America to the staging area, including 450,000 tons of ammunition.
In November 1943, aware of a threat of an invasion along France’s northern coast, Adolf Hitler appointed Erwin Rommel to spearhead defense operations in the region and finish the Atlantic Wall, a 2,400-mile fortification of bunkers, landmines and beach and water obstacles. Believing that the Allies would invade Pas de Calais (the narrowest point between Britain and France), the German heavily defended the place. In the Normandy area, the best fortifications were concentrated at the port facilities at Cherbourg and St Malo. By June 5, 1944, Rommel had been able to have some four million more mines laid on the beaches.
By dawn of June 6, U.S., British, and Canadian forces simultaneously landed on five separate beachheads of Normandy, France. The British Army landed in the east on the code-named beaches Sword and Gold. The Canadians invaded Juno beach. The American Army captured Omaha and Utah beach.
In those fateful 24 hours of June 6, approximately 156,000 Allied troops had successfully stormed Normandy beaches, and Allied casualties were at least 10,000 with more than 4,000 confirmed dead. Meanwhile, German casualties numbered at least 4,000 but some other documents claimed statistics of more than 9,000.
Although all of the Allies’ objectives have not been completed on the first day of D-Day, the operation gained a foothold that the Allies gradually expanded over the ensuing months. On June 12, the key town of Carentan was captured by US troops, allowing five Allied beachheads to be connected for the first time. A week after D-Day, the Allies had landed 327,000 troops, 54,000 vehicles and 103,000 tons of supplies in Normandy. On June 26, the Allies captured the French port of Cherbourg. A month later, the city of Caen was captured. On August 15, the Allies launched Operation Dragoon, the code name for the landing operation of the Allied invasion of Provence and liberated most of Southern France in just four weeks. 10 days later, the French capital of Paris was liberated. And just 5 days after that, the 3rd Canadian Infantry Division crossed the Seine as the Germans continued to fall back, marking the close of Operation Overlord.
On April 30 of the following year, Adolf Hitler committed suicide. On May 7, less than a year after D-Day, Germany signed its unconditional surrender. The day after that, the Allies accepted Germany’s surrender, marking the official end of World War II. This day was also announced VE Day - Victory in Europe to celebrate the end of the Second World War.

Do you want to learn more about World War II, but don’t have time to listen to lengthy audiobooks? Then let The History Journals take you on an hourly history tour of the different facets of the war. In this edition, discover the true story of the Normandy Invasion, or more commonly known as D-Day.
The 6th June 1944 has gone down in history as D Day, the beginning of the end of World War II. Code-named “Operation Overlord” the Normandy Invasion took the German Army completely by surprise, as British, American, Canadian, and Allied soldiers from all over the world stormed the beaches of “Utah”, “Omaha”, “Gold”, “Juno” and “Sword”. The weather was appalling and the seas of the English Channel distinctly stormy, but by bravely taking the initiative the Allies were able to liberate France and march towards Berlin and victory.
As a military operation, “Overlord” was strategically successful, but on a personal level there are many remarkable stories of courage and heroism: The acquisition of Pegasus Bridge, the wonderful welcome given by the newly liberated French, the brave rangers at Pointe du Hoc, the desperate battle for “Omaha” beach and the extraordinary Piper Bill Millin who played his bagpipes, waist deep in water, all the way from the landing craft to shore, and then onwards inland, through France.
This was a combined offensive where Army, Navy and RAF worked side-by-side, as Allied servicemen from all corners of the globe became comrades in arms.

Between 1939 and 1941, the forces of Adolf Hitler’s Nazi Germany blazed a path of destruction, oppression and murder across the map of Europe and beyond and it seemed his ambition could never be satisfied. The world was his goal. Death was his tool. Only a badly beaten and barely holding-on Britain managed to hold back the tide long enough to guarantee that all of Europe wouldn’t be draped in a flag bearing the Swastika. And yet within three years Britain, Canada and the United States along with survivors from the fallen nations would amalgamate into a single force and in one swift move, drive a dagger into the side of Hitler’s dreams of total, European and ultimately global supremacy. That dagger was driven in on the beaches of Normandy in June 1944 and it would be twisted into a wound that would never close. This is the story of Operation Overlord. This is the story of D-Day…

June 6, 1944 - D-Day - the beginning of the end of WW2. Code-named “Operation Overlord”, the Normandy Invasion took the German Army by surprise, as Allied soldiers stormed the beaches of “Utah”, “Omaha”, “Gold”, “Juno” and “Sword”. The weather was appalling, but by bravely taking the initiative, the Allies were able to liberate France and march towards Berlin and victory.

Invasion of Normandy
The Invasion of Normandy was the invasion by and establishment of Western Allied forces in Normandy, during Operation Overlord in 1944 during World War II; the largest amphibious invasion to ever take place.
D-Day, the day of the initial assaults, was Tuesday 6 June 1944. Allied land forces that saw combat in Normandy on that day came from Canada, the Free French forces, the United Kingdom, and the United States. In the weeks following the invasion, Polish forces also participated, as well as contingents from Belgium, Czechoslovakia, Greece, and the Netherlands. Most of the above countries also provided air and naval support, as did the Royal Australian Air Force, the Royal New Zealand Air Force, and the Royal Norwegian Navy.
The Normandy invasion began with overnight parachute and glider landings, massive air attacks and naval bombardments. In the early morning, amphibious landings on five beaches codenamed Juno, Gold, Omaha, Utah, and Sword began and during the evening the remaining elements of the parachute divisions landed. Land forces used on D-Day deployed from bases along the south coast of England, the most important of these being Portsmouth.

Operation Overlord
by: Cage"This is the day for which we people long have waited. This is D-day (D-day)"
Rushing to the shore. Splashing metal gates! Oh, the time has come. For the bravest of the brave. Overwhelming force. By the thousands we invade! We must prevail and win the longest day.
To win the fight. The nations on this day unite. By land and sea, the air we breathe! We charge on blindly to the fire!
Rise up! And face the terror of tyranny Break out! Fury will seal their fate.
A state of total war. The world won't be the same. The bodies and the bullets fall like rain. Charging to the wall. The sand is bloody stained! Our soldiers die. But our courage still remains!
To win the fight. The nations on this day unite. By land and sea, the air we breathe! We charge on blindly to the fire!
Rise up! And face the terror of tyranny Break out! Fury will seal their fate.
It's up to us again. Before all is lost. Two hundred thousand men. Will defeat, And crush, The iron cross!
(Lead McGinnis)
Shatterd bone and blood. Batlleships and planes. The tyrant's fall, We've broken them again! The pounding heavy guns. We're fearless yet afraid! A heavy price our dead have surely paid! God bless them all and glory to the brave!
To win the fight, The nations on this day unite. By land and sea, the air we breathe! We charge on blindly to the fire!
Rise up! And face the terror of tyranny Break out! Fury will seal their fate.
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, Ooooooooooooooh!
