Description
An epic battle that involved 156,000 Allied men, 7,000 ships, and 20,000 armored vehicles fighting against the might of the German war machine, D-Day was, above all, a tale of individual heroics, of men who were driven to keep fighting until the German defenses were smashed and the precarious beachheads secured.
