The D-Day invasion of France on June 6 1944 is probably the best-known military operation in history. The largest-ever amphibious attack, the invasion led to the battle of Normandy and ultimately the liberation of France.
The D-Day beaches are evocative locations, often appearing in film and television dramatisations, and many are still host to remnants of the battles, such as German fortifications. There are memorials and cemeteries for both Allied and German soldiers across Normandy.
