The invasion beaches of D-Day.
In the early morning of 6 June 1944 - a day that would come to be known as D-Day - over 150,000 soldiers landed on the Normandy beaches with code names Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword (from west to east). That morning, the largest Allied invasion in history broke through the defences of the Atlantic Wall, paving the way for the Second Front and contributing to the final defeat of Hitler's Third Reich.
