This year sees the 65th Anniversary of the Normandy Landings, the largest amphibious invasion in a single day of all time. The operation involved around 7000 ships and smaller vessels and nearly 160,000 troops were landed across five beaches in Normandy. After heavy fighting the Allies broke through the German coastal defences and began to loosen Hitler's grip on Western Europe.
