June 6, June 6, 1944, will be a day that will be remembered as a day when great sacrifices were made to ensure the freedom of the world. On that disheartening day, to maintain the sovereignty of the world, humanity had given up its humanity. One of the largest and most successful battles of all time in World War II was D-day. D-day is one of the darkest days in human history, when the Allies invaded Normandy, France, and broke down Hitler's front door. Although the allies had to sacrifice many lives, they managed to defeat the Germans and gain a much-needed position. The night before D-Day the Americans and British dropped paratroopers behind enemy lines to ensure their triumph the next day. The Germans, although strong and efficient, were not prepared to fight the battle that day. Over 100,000 soldiers swam ashore (Normandy) and 11,700 paratroopers were dropped to protect Normandy Beach. The Utah Beach landing was successful and went completely as planned. The tanks arrived first and began firing on the surprised Germans, then the first waves of infantry soldiers swarmed the beaches (Collier). There was a big problem with the Utah Beach offense. On the shore, when the men disembarked, they were often forced to move between obstacles and the line of fire to make room for the heavy vehicles and vehicles that followed them (Collier). The minesweepers worked together with the tanks and infantrymen: while the sappers removed obstacles on the beach, the tanks and infantry plowed the bunkers and gun batteries. At 1300 the Allies rendezvoused with the 101st Airborne Division and by nightfall a solid beachhead was established along the beach (Collier). On the morning of June 6, 1944, the Allies invaded France and carried out the largest amphibious assault in history. took place. On the morning of the Normandy invasion, beaches in the Cotentin area of ​​France were bombarded with over 5,000 tons of bombs, destroying anti-invasion equipment and clearing many areas of mines. Official British history says: "Never has any coast suffered what a tortured strip of French coast suffered that morning." Following the bombing over 100,000 soldiers swam ashore and 11,700 paratroopers were dropped (D-Day) to protect Normandy Beach. The Allies did not know what would happen next, when the Higgins boats hit the shore, over a third of the men were killed or wounded..
