Overview

Op 6 juni 1944 lanceerden de geallieerden de grootste gecombineerde land-, lucht- en zeeoperatie ooit. Deze invasie, bedoeld om de bevrijding van Europa te beginnen, zou voor altijd bekend staan ​​als D-Day. In de jaren voorafgaand aan 1944 was er sprake van een totale overheersing van Europa door nazi-Duitsland. Ondanks de deelname van Amerika aan de Tweede Wereldoorlog, strategische bombardementen, de invasies van Noord-Afrika en Italië, bleef Duitsland de controle behouden en kon het zijn kustverdediging, de Atlantikwall, versterken ter voorbereiding op de onvermijdelijke geallieerde invasie. Operatie Overlord was het geallieerde plan om die verdedigingswerken te verslaan en een westelijk front te openen. De harde lessen die bij Anzio, Dieppe en Salerno waren geleerd, stonden op het punt onder de aandacht te worden gebracht met de grootste invasie die de wereld ooit had gezien. Maar hoe waren de geallieerden op dit punt gekomen?

Overview

Hitler had proclaimed that Nazi conquered Europe was an impenetrable fortress. On the 6th of June 1944, the Allies launched the largest combined land, air and sea operation ever. This invasion, designed to begin the liberation of Europe, would forever be known as D-Day. The years leading up to 1944 had seen total domination of Europe by Nazi Germany. Despite the entry of America into WWII, strategic bombing, the invasions of North Africa and Italy, Germany remained in control and was able to strength its coastal defenses, The Atlantic Wall, in preparation for the inevitable Allied invasion. Operation Overlord was the Allied plan to defeat those defenses and open a Western Front. The hard lessons learned at Anzio, Dieppe and Salerno were about to be brought into focus with the greatest invasion the world had ever seen. But how had the Allies come to this point? Who were the personalities and what compromises were made to forge this great alliance?
