5 Beaches Of D Day
5 Beaches Of D Day. Preparations for D-Day took some time as the Western Allies,especially W. D-Day events are commemorated by a number of monuments and the impressive Musée du Débarquement de Utah Beach, a few kilometres inland in Ste-Marie du Mont.
D-Day involved the simultaneous landing of tens of thousands of troops on five separate beaches in Normandy. D-Day beach landings map. (Image by Paul Hewitt - Battlefield Design). For too long, the narrative of D-Day and the battle for Normandy has focused on the fighting on land, whereas it needs to be.
The five D-Day beaches where landings of the Invasion of Normandy occurred were Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword Beaches.
Codenamed Operation 'Overlord', the Allied landings on the beaches of Normandy marked the start of a long and costly campaign to liberate north-west Europe from Nazi occupation.
The Allies were fighting 'big war', whereas the Germans were forced to fight largely on land only. The following article on the five D-Day beaches is an excerpt from Barrett Tillman' D-Day Encyclopedia. Good rates and no reservation costs.
