Remembering D-Day
Posted 06/08/10

Boston.com has once again put together a very nice photo montage, this time remembering the 66th anniversary of the Allied invasion of France back in 1944.

U.S. soldiers approach Omaha Beach, their weapons wrapped in plastic to keep them dry, June 1944.

"Thousands of soldiers lost their lives on those beaches on that day - many thousands more would follow as the invasion succeeded and troops began to push German forces eastward, eventually leading to the Allied victory in 1945. Collected here are some photographs of the preparation, execution and immediate aftermath of the 1944 D-Day invasion of Normandy, and a few images from 2010."
- Boston.com

Thirteen liberty ships, deliberately scuttled to form a breakwater for invasion vessels landing on the Normandy beachhead lie in line off the beach, shielding the ships in shore. The artificial harbor engineering installation which was prefabricated and towed across the Channel. 1944 photo.

Peter Smoothy, 86, who was a leading writer in the Royal Navy on D-Day visits the grave of a fallen comrade on June 6, 2010 in Bayeux, France. Across Normandy several hundred of the surviving veterans of the Normandy campaign are commemorating the 66th anniversary of the D-Day landings which eventually led to the Allied liberation of France in 1944.
