The Normandy Landings were codenamed Operation Neptune, and were a component of Operation Overlord – the invasion of German-occupied Europe. The term D-Day refers to the moment the landings commenced, on Tuesday 6th June 1944 at 06:30 in the morning.
The offensive was a massive collaboration between all the Allied countries, including the Resistance groups in France itself. It began with a complex but highly successful programme of misdirection and espionage against the Germans to make them believe that the assault was going to take place further north along the coast at Calais. Indeed, Hitler was so convinced that the attack would be in Calais that he actively refused to reinforce the Normandy coast.
D-Day proved to be the largest amphibious invasion in world history with over 160,000 soldiers, mainly from Britain, the US and Canada landing at five sectors along the coast. 5,000 ships, manned by nearly 200,000 Allied personnel transported the troops, their vehicles and equipment across the English Channel. Around 12,000 Allied troops were killed that day, falling to the German defences as they advanced in plain sight up the beach.
Overall, the landing phase of Operation Overlord lasted nearly a month, until 30th June 1944. However, the vast majority of conflict took place on that single first day. Operation Overlord proved to be a huge success and was the beginning of the end of World War II that would lead to an Allied victory in 1945.
Enjoy the weekend special, commanders, and remember the heroes of D-Day whose courage brought about the world we know.
