In the early hours of June 6, 1944, the first of over 150,000
Allied soldiers stormed five beaches in Normandy against fierce
German resistance. They were specially trained and task-organized
in a range of different landing teams depending on their means of
transport, their tasks, and the resistance they anticipated. The
first assault infantry were accompanied by tankers, combat
engineers, and other specialist personnel, to breach German
obstacles, knock out defensive positions, and to defend and prepare
the beaches for the follow-on waves. On some beaches the plans
worked, on others they were disrupted by bad weather, faulty
timing, or enemy fire, with consequences that varied from
survivable confusion to absolute carnage. This is an in-depth study
of the uniforms, equipment, weapons, passage, landings, and tactics
of US, British and Canadian assault units during the period from
before H-Hour on June 6 to dawn on June 7.
