The beaches of Normandy—Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword—are renowned as the location of D-Day, the largest seaborne invasion in history on June 6, 1944. This monumental operation marked the beginning of the Allies' liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control, though it came at the cost of heavy casualties, particularly on Omaha Beach. Today, these historical shores in France serve as profound memorials and cemeteries, honoring the bravery and sacrifice of the American, British, Canadian, and other Allied forces.

The Allies offloaded millions of tons of supplies and vehicles critical for the liberation of Northwest Europe.
