The most tragic battlefield of the Normandy landings.
-
The Normandy landings were a historic battle in the latter part of World War II. In the early summer, the victory of the Soviet army over the German army on the Eastern Front was a foregone conclusion, and the Allies, in order to fulfill the agreement reached by the leaders of the United States, Britain, and the Soviet Union at the Tehran Conference in December on opening a second battlefield in Europe on the Western Front, decided to land in the Normandy area of France and launch a counterattack against the troops of Nazi Germany.
In the early hours of the month, a military operation codenamed " Day began on the beaches of Normandy. The United States-led Allied forces under the command of General Eisenhower, Anglo-American Allied forces on June 6, 1944.
Scene of the landing in Normandy, France.
Led by more than 10,000 paratroopers, nearly 10,000 troops, under the cover of the air force, set sail from Portsmouth and crossed the English Channel, breaking through the German defense line -- the "Atlantic barrier" -- in one fell swoop, leaving the German army in a situation where they were exposed to the enemy on their backs. In this landing operation, the Allied forces dispatched warships, 10,000 aircraft, landing craft, transport ships, hundreds of tanks, and 10,000 officers and men (10,000 U.S. troops, 10,000 British and Canadian troops) to launch a fierce attack on the beaches of Normandy in five directions and begin the landing. The landing beach stretches from the estuary bay of the Orne River to the southeastern part of the Cotentin Peninsula.
By the end of the day, the landing sites of the Allied forces had been connected. On the same day, the number of Allied landers in Normandy had reached 10,000. At the end of the battle, the Allies committed a total of 10,000 men, many warships, and many warplanes.
The Germans committed 10,000 troops. During the battle, the Allies wiped out 10,000 German troops and destroyed tanks and aircraft. On the Allied side, 10,000 soldiers sacrificed their lives on the battlefield.
After the war, they were buried in a military cemetery in Normandy according to their nationality. After that, the Allies continued to advance into the heart of Europe, liberating France and Belgium and other countries in a matter of months, and invading Germany proper. The Allied victory opened up a second battlefield in Europe and hastened the demise of fascist Germany.
This battle is also known as the Battle of the Overlord. The scale of the Normandy landings and the brutality of the battles are rare in the history of human warfare.
