On June 6, 1944, the largest land, sea, and air operation in history got way in northern France as more than 150,000 Allied troops began the invasion of German-occupied Western Europe. D-Day: The Story of the Greatest Military Operation in History provides bone-chilling detailed information on how Allied Forces got to D-Day through months of meticulous planning for Operation Overlord, the fierce fighting that happened when they hit the beaches and the Allied leaders who conceived, shaped, and executed the ambitious plan. Learn why Normandy was chosen for the amphibious attack, how the Allied leaders deceived Hitler's army so the plan would work, and the military operations that followed, some told by the soldiers who were there. Incredible in-the-field photos bring the fight to life and place you smack dab in the middle of the fighting, among the men, and looking at the death and destruction that followed. You will also peek into the types of planes, ships, and tanks that were used in the fight and learn where you can honor the military men who sacrificed their lives on that day.
