Landigs


Operation Overlord began on the morning of June 6 of 1944 with the landing of the paratroopers, with the mission of destroy artillery and enemy communication.

Then U.S. troops landed on the beaches of Omaha (where a 30m cliff closed the beach, they use dynamite to pass and conquer the beach, here 6000 soldiers died) and Utah (the lightest of all operations, without much human losses),

British forces invade the beaches of  Sword (here the key to success was the British well organized plan of attack and defend because this was a well-defended beach) and Gold (this was a bech that was easy to take, the British conquer this  without difficulty)

And he Canadian army invade  Juno (this was the beach with the biggest  resistance of all, it was defended  by the 716 division and tha Nazis eliminated 50% of the 1st attack wave, the Canadian managed to overcome and conquer the beach with the help of the bombers; this was the 1st beach to be taken and the Canadian army went ahead into  the liberation of France).
In total there was 175,000 soldiers on the landings.
