Posted by notbanned at Sept. 23, 2019

In early June 1944, 1.5 million Allied soldiers stand ready in southern England to embark on the largest amphibious assault in military history: Operation Overlord. For tens of thousands of young U.S. soldiers, this war against the Nazis seems almost like an adventure. Very few, if at all, have any combat experience. The sixth day of June 1944 is "D-Day", "Decision Day". American troops land on the coast of Normandy to bring the Third Reich to its knees. Platoon after platoon go ashore without any cover. Only now does the horror awaiting them begin to dawn. From the dunes above them, the Germans open fire on the GIs from bunkers and foxholes.

It is estimated that 10,000 men died in combat, the majority during the days after the landing. As Allied forces pushed inland to capture surrounding Nazis-occupied French towns, all were aware the outcome would determine how the war would end.
