D-day, the 6th of June - one of the most pivotal moments in world history. In a massive armada of thousands of ships, 3,000,000 allied troops land at three beahes in Normandy, France - and one of the most incredibly co-ordinate military operations ever. Scaling the impregnable Atlantic wall, constructed by the Germans, turns out to be one of the most difficult and costly battles of World War II.
Battle of Diepp
By the middle of 1942, the allies are anxious to attack the Germans in Normandy but they are not prepared for a full-scaled invastion. Instead, a raiding party of 6,000 troops, including 5,000 canadians, makes an ill-fated attempt to land at Dieppe, France. The heavily fortified German emplacements make it impossible for the forces to accomplish their mission. More than half of the force become casualties or are take prisoner.
