D-Day Book & Map
6 June 1944 – the date that marked the beginning of the end of the war in north-west Europe and the day on which the liberation of France began.
D-DAY: THE INVASION MAP
Shortly after midnight in the early hours of 6 June 1944, three Allied airborne divisions began landing in Normandy. Their task was to secure the flanks for the mighty American, British and Canadian armies to storm ashore on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of heavily fortified enemy shoreline.
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. Find out more HERE!
