| Part One - Planning-Waiting-Go:
Getting into the third year of the war (1942), the Americans wished to invade France but the British were not convinced that this was a viable proposition.

Part Three - A Foothold Is Gained:
Part three completes the story of the American Landings and covers the British, Canadian and other Allies landing on Gold, Juno and Sword beaches.

By D-Day plus 1 the Allies had not achieved many of their D-Day objectives, but they had gained a foothold strong enough to guarantee the freedom of Europe. D-Day was the longest day for many, for other it was their last. This is their story... |
