Sadly, most of todays generation have never heard of, Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword, the 5 beachheads. The Normandy invasion was executed after the Germans were deceived into believing that the invasion would be in Norway or further North up the coast. Something like 200,000 allied troops were involved in the invasion and the casualties were staggering.
RIP brothers.
