The Allied forces' landing on the shores of Normandy on 6 June 1944 marked the most significant amphibious invasion in history. Technology and innovation played pivotal roles in the D-Day drama, encompassing a wide array of innovative machines, structures, and systems. These included tank-carrying gliders, swimming tanks, and the Mulberry harbours, as well as radio and radar aids that ensured landing craft arrived at the correct beaches and combat aircraft were controlled overhead.
This manual provides a comprehensive account of the development, construction, and utilization of these innovative technologies. It explains their applications on D-Day and in the subsequent stages of the Overlord campaign. By delving into the details of these machines, structures, and systems, the manual sheds light on their crucial contributions to the success of the D-Day operations.
To commemorate the 75th anniversary of D-Day on 6 June 2019, this revised edition of the Haynes D-Day Operations Manual includes an additional chapter detailing the neutralization and destruction of beach obstacles. It also provides insights into the organization of the beachhead to manage the rapid buildup of men and materiel before the breakout inland.
Foreword by Major General Stewart Watson CBE, a Sherman DD tank commander with the 13th/18th Royal Hussars on D-Day, adds an insightful perspective to this commemorative edition.
Jonathan Falconer, the author of numerous books on aviation and military history, has authored this manual. He previously served as the commissioning editor of the 14-volume Battle Zone Normandy series for Sutton Publishing. Currently, he holds the position of senior commissioning editor with Haynes. Falconer resides in Wiltshire.
