After months of careful and elaborate preparations Allied tropps landed on the beaches of Normandy on 6 June 1944. They took the occupying German troops by surprise, and by the end of the day had made significant territorial gains. Within weeks, they had recaptured most of France and were moving on to Berlin and the overthrow of Nazi Germany. Anne Grimshaw tells the story of the day which created a turning point in World War II.
