D-Day: The Ultimate Conflict

From the ordinary to the incredible, the requirements of the Allied forces, when making their long awaited invasion to drive the Nazis back from their Atlantic Wall, were the stuff of future legends. What was needed to not only land the invading forces, but also to try and help them fight their way off the beaches into the French countryside, taxed the inventiveness of man.
