D-Day—June 6, 1944

On June 6, 1944, approximately 150,000 American, British, and Canadian forces attempted to take control of five beaches along the coast of France. The beaches were in the Normandy region, and the this operation is sometimes called the Battle of Normandy. The landings of the troops in the Normandy region and the battles to take control of this area have been referred to as the beginning of the end of World War II in Europe.

Adolf Hitler, the ruler of Germany at the time of World War II, knew that the Allies were going to try something to win the war, but he did not know what it would be. Hitler put Erwin Rommel, one of his top commanders at the time, in charge of defense along the northern coast of France. Rommel was to finish an Atlantic Wall, which was a fortification along the coast that stretched over 2,000 miles in length. This fortification consisted of landmines, bunkers, and obstacles in the water and on the beach.

Many deceptions were used by the Allies to convince Germany that the invasion would be coming from another area, but by dawn on June 6, 1944, the invasion had begun, with thousands of troops already on the ground behind enemy lines. These troops were paratroopers and glider troops, and their objective was to prevent the Germans from using the bridges and roads to escape or to bring in reinforcements. By 6:30 a.m., the first invasions had begun by water, with British, Canadian, and American troops invading from boats that brought them as close to the shores as they could. Allied air and naval support helped to protect the troops whenever possible and continued to bomb bridges and roads to further hamper the German troops. Even with all of this support, the Allies lost an estimated 4,000 lives in this operation, but they succeeded in turning the balance of power in Europe. They were joined by forces from other Allied countries after the initial invasion, and by May 8, 1945, less than one year later, Germany had unconditionally surrendered.

Can you label the beaches on the map below where the Normandy invasion took place on D-Day?

This photograph is an official publicity photograph of the Allied commanders planning D-Day. The photograph was taken in February 1944 but probably not released to the public until after the invasion had taken place. What’s the background to this source? By late 1942 the tide began to turn against Germany. From 1943 to 1944, British Empire and US forces began a build up of troops and equipment to drive the Germans out of the lands they had invaded in 1940. The landings took place in June 1944. The date of the D-Day landings was June 6th 1944. It was an incredibly risky operation, because the Allies had to cross the English Channel. Weather and tides had to be perfect for the invasion to work. It’s worth knowing that... The leaders of the British Empire and US forces were under pressure from Josef Stalin, the leader of the USSR to attack the Germans from the West.
