First Pictures Of The D-Day Invasion Of France
11,000 Allied planes plant their tons of pulverizing bombs on shore installations, strategic roads and bridges; then swoop down to strafe enemy trains, ships and enemy planes.
In England, the daredevil paratroopers sail away to their designations with airborne troops being towed to the battle in gliders. 4,000 ships set sail for the Cherbourg peninsula. The guns of the invasion navy roar into action. Assault boats bounce through the heavy seas; shore is reached and the intricate Nazi defenses are penetrated.
Nazi prisoners are rounded up and the many Allied and Nazi wounded are treated and returned to England. Allied heavy equipment rumbles by and the French citizens welcome their Allied liberators. Supreme Commander General Dwight D. Eisenhower visits the scene and is welcomed by General Bernard Montgomery and General Omar Bradley.
The air poundings continue and the mop up search for snipers is on. The invasion is successful and the march to Germany is on.
