Normandy landings

The Normandy landings were the landing operations of the allied invasion of Normandy during World War II.

The landings took place in June 1944. First the area was checked by minesweepers, they were followed by submarines and then three British battleships. The landing took place across numerous beaches along the coast. Nine-thousand allied troops were dead or wounded by the time the fighting ended. (EDA: The Taint)
