  • Operation Overlord 1944
    Operation Overlord, 6 June 1944 Nottinghamshire The landings on five beaches in northern France on the morning of 6 June 1944 by upwards of 156,000 troops of 14 allied countries marked the beginning of Operation Overlord. These were contemporary with successes in other theatres of the Second World War in 1944, in Italy at Monte Casino and in Northeast India at Kohima. It heralded the last phase of the conflict and the liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe. The invasion was the result of long and meticulous planning as well as a triumph of combined operations between all the arms of the services in the sea, on the land and in the air, with the support of the civilian population including industry and agriculture which provided the armaments, ordnance, equipment, rations etc Men and women from all backgrounds and walks of life were involved and many paid with their lives. Men and women from Nottinghamshire served in all branches of the Armed Forces during this conflict and it is not possible to say how many people were involved except it would be many thousands. We can however identify some examples specifically from our own county: Royal Navy Whilst there were no ships specifically linked to Nottinghamshire, as the largest amphibious operation ever seen, the contribution of both the Royal Navy, Royal Marine Commandos and the Merchant Navy cannot be overstated with sailors from Nottinghamshire serving in all three services. Guards Armoured Division The Guards Armoured Division which trained for D Day at Thoresby and was among the earliest to land on D Day.
