The Invasion Begins by Commander Rex Phillips.
British troops in Royal Naval landing craft approach Sword Beach during the D- Day landings, while overhead Typhoons attack the German heavy gun and machine gun positions defending the beaches. Sword beach was the furthest east of the five Normandy invasion beaches - the others were codenamed Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah. Sword beach was subdivided into four areas; Queen, Roger, Peter and Oboe beaches, and was a five mile beach from Ouistreham at the mouth of the River Orne on the east stretching west to Lion-sur-Mer. At Sword Beach were the British 3rd Division, the 1st Lancashire Regiment, 2nd East Yorkshire regiment, the 8th Infantry Brigade and 13th / 18th Hussars. The task of taking Caen and the airfields nearby was given to the 3rd Division. Losses on the first day were 630 dead and wounded from a force of 29,000 men. |

US 4th Division, Utah Beach, D-Day, 6th June 1944 by Jason Askew.
Utah beach was the great American success story of D-day. Compared to the difficulties encountered on Omaha beach, the casualties suffered by the American 4th Division on Utah beach were described as 'light'. Although tactical problems were encountered on the Utah beach landings, i.e. the loss of many of the landing control teams, the strong tide causing problems, German placed mines sinking vessels, and the overall atmosphere of fog / low visibility, the American infantry were able to subdue and overcome the German beach defences and penetrate inland, with much greater speed than the divisions that landed on Omaha. Terrain played a role with regard to the difference in combat experience between the two American beaches. The high bluffs at Omaha gave the German defenders a certain geographical advantage, whereas the low-lying sand dunes at Utah favored the mobility of the American infantry and armor. The low-lying terrain at Utah also favored the Allied air bombardment. .........

The Spoils of War by Simon Smith.
Thrown into a baptism of fire on D-Day the men of the 101st Airborne Division had quickly shown their mettle in the killing fields of Normandy. By the time they were called upon to jump into Holland during Operation Market Garden they had become one of the toughest and most formidable units of the entire US Army. After fighting alongside the British in Holland it was on 5th October 1944, along the muddy banks of a dyke, that the men of Easy Company, 2nd Battalion 506th Parachute Infantry Regiment, under the leadership of Lt Dick Winters once again ran into a large group of Germans. It wasn't the first time they'd been outnumbered and, with scant regard for the odds against them, Easy Company attacked. After a brief fire-fight that drove the enemy back, Dick Winters gathered half of his reserve platoon and proceeded to wipe out an enemy machine-gun position and bringing up the rest of his men, charged with fixed bayonets. The Germans - two companies of battle-harden.........
