D-DAY: THE INVASION MAP

Codenamed Operation Overlord, the invasion was the largest, most complex amphibious landing ever undertaken which, by the following spring, would lead to the ultimate defeat of Germany and the end of the war in western Europe.

This superb map depicts details of the first day of this heroic operation. It illustrates the Allied armies involved and the beaches on which they landed; what their first day objectives were, and how close or far they came to achieving their goals. Click HERE to find out more!

THE LIBERATION OF BAYEUX

On the morning of 7 June 1944 British armoured units enter the centre of Bayeux, the first city in France to be liberated by the Allies following the D-Day landings. With the 11th century Notre Dame Cathedral as a magical back-drop, the crews of the Churchill and Cromwell tanks receive a jubilant reception from the local resistance fighters and civilians.

THE ROAD FROM UTAH

Paratroopers of the 101st Airborne lead American armored units through the recently liberated village of Saint Marie Du Mont during the advance from Utah Beach, shortly after D-Day. A pair of P-51 Mustangs pass low overhead as they support advancing troops nearby.

STAND EASY

During a short respite from the heavy fighting on D-Day, paratroopers from the 101st Airborne stand easy outside a recently liberated café as they await orders for their next objective. It is just a matter of hours since these men parachuted into France and the 101st will continue to play a crucial role in the Allied advance across Europe.
