Overview
The Battle of Normandy, codenamed Operation Overlord, began with the amphibious Allied landings at Normandy, France, early in the morning of June 6, 1944, and continued into the following weeks with a land campaign to establish, expand, and eventually break out of the Normandy bridgehead. In the English-speaking world, it remains the best-known battle of World War II.
Combined American, British, Canadian, and French forces under the command of General Montgomery landed at several points along the Normandy coastline.
The British and Canadian beaches were to the east, and, from east to west were codenamed: Sword Beach, which extended from Ouistreham at the mouth of the river Orne to Saint Aubin sur Mer, Juno Beach from Saint Aubin sur Mer to La Riviere, and Gold Beach, from La Riviere to a few kilometres west of Longues sur Mer. The American beaches, further to the west, were Omaha Beach and Utah Beach.
The foreshore area had been extensively fortified by the Germans as part of their Atlantic Wall defences. It was manned with a haphazard collection of troops: mainly Germans who (usually for medical reasons) were not considered suitable for active duty on the Eastern Front, and other nationalities (mainly Russians) who had agreed to fight for the Germans rather than endure a prisoner of war camp.
Some of the area immediately behind the coastline had been flooded by the Germans as a precaution against parachute assault.
Prior to the battle, the Allies had carefully mapped and tested the landing area, paying particular attention to weather conditions in the English Channel. The weather conditions at the only time when the landings were practicable (because of tide and moonlight considerations) were particularly severe. The German forces were not expecting the landings to occur because of this.
In addition to the main beachhead assaults, troops were parachute dropped behind enemy lines and these were further supported by troops arriving in gliders at key points. Coordinated activities with the French resistance forces, the Maquis, helped disrupt Axis lines of communications.
Additionally, the Allies made extensive use of deception in a series of complex plans under the overall rubric of Bodyguard. Key to this overarching strategic effort was the local feint using dummy weaponry and forces to simulate a landing further east in the Pas de Calais, Operation Fortitude.
This drew the best German tank and infantry divisions in the west away from Normandy. Also in the Allies favor, much of the German command had been called back to (Paris?) for wargames and thus were not present on the critical first day, when the allies could have most easily been thrown off the beaches.
Once the beachhead was established, two artificial Mulberry Harbours were towed across the English Channel in segments. One was constructed at Arromanches, the other at Omaha Beach. For a short while, this facilitated the landing of heavy weaponry and materials, but they were soon lost to storms, and by far the major part of the Allied materiel came over the beaches.
Just to clarify, although both Mulberry Harbours were damaged, only the Omaha one was not able to operate. The Arromanches continued for a number of months only closing when other harbours had come on line. Operation Fortitude was centred on the UK and not in France.
If you look at Google earth you can still see the harbours or what is left.
There were tanks used in the invasion called the “funnies” mainly consisting of tanks that can do special things. The “crab” tank has flails to blow up landmines, another tank to lay long flat pieces of metal creating an artificial road and many more.
Once the beach landings were consolidated, the allies, at least the American sectors, ran into serious problems with the “Hedgerows.”
They had failed to account for the fact that the French style of agriculture was different from the Anglo-American style, the French favored large hedgerows that grew into large walls that were built upon for hundreds of years. The British and American style favored smaller hedgerows that were minimal. As a result, the Germans were able to fortify the hedgerows and turn them into mini-kill zones for unsuspecting American troops. The hedges severally restricted movements of both tanks and soldiers, so the Wehrmacht and SS knew where to place machine guns, panzerfausts, and PAK anti-tank guns, and they essentially ambushed troops over and over. The result was a slow, bloody battle that was difficult to overcome…
The problem was solved when a Sergeant invented a tank “hedgechopper,” fashioned out of old German beach obstacles, that could quickly barrel through the hedgerow walls enabling American shock infantry to turn the tables and outflank the German soldiers by hitting them in unanticipated areas
