It's the 6th of June, 1944, and nearly
150,000 Allied troops storm Normandy.
The infantry fight their way through the
rough, cold surf to reach the beaches
and engage the German defenders up
close.
Tanks and warships provide heavy fire to
blast through concrete emplacements and
bunkers.
Support troops follow up with the
necessary equipment to keep the advance
moving.
The fighting is fierce, but by the end
of D-Day, Allied forces are established
on all five beaches and have begun to
push inland.
