On 6 June 1944, Allied forces launched the largest combined land air and sea operation in the history of warfare - Operation Overlord. The landing was one of the most important events of the Second World War and marked the beginning of a long and costly campaign to liberate north-west Europe from German occupation.
Our new three-part series, we’ll cover all the elements of D-Day with episodes exploring the fighting at sea, in the air and on land. In this first episode IWM Curator Nigel Steel examines the naval operations that made D-Day possible. Why did the Allies select the Normandy beaches? How did Allied naval guns turn the tide of the battle? And why did the Allies almost cancel D-Day altogether?
