Epic Invasion: D-Day & Op Overlord Reads

It was the largest amphibious invasion—and one of the most ambitious, and risky, military operations in history. In a joint Allied push to liberate Western Europe from Nazi occupation, code-named 'Operation Overlord' launched on D-Day, 06 June 1944, with nearly 156,000 American, Canadian, and British assault troops landing on five beaches along the coast of France. At a cost of over 10,000 Allied casualties on D-Day, the Normandy beachhead was secured, providing a firm foothold that helped pave the way to victory in Europe.
