Operation Overlord, the codename given to the Allied invasion of
German-occupied Western Europe in 1944, was arguably the most
challenging, complicated and risky military operation in history.
It began on 6 June with Operation Neptune, the largest seaborne
invasion ever seen, when 150,000 troops crossed the Channel and
attempted to land on the beaches at Normandy. This assault would
lay the foundation for the Allied victory on the Western Front, and
is now commonly known as D-Day. This highly illustrated book, first
published to mark the 75th anniversary of D-Day in 2019, will
reconstruct the historic landings and the resultant battle for
Normandy using artefacts, documents, interviews, film, art and
photographs from the archives at IWM. Importantly, it will feature
first-hand accounts of the action from the vast documents and sound
collection, allowing the reader to follow a personal narrative
throughout and experience what it was like to live through what was
one of the most significant campaigns of the Second World War.
