EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures the raw intensity and courage of the Allied forces as they stormed the beach on D-Day, June 6, 1943, during World War II. The image, taken from overhead, shows a chaotic scene as waves crash against the shoreline, obscuring the view of the beach below. Above, the skies are filled with the trails of dive-bombers and fighter planes, their engines roaring as they provide cover for the troops below. Soldiers in uniforms of various nations, armed with rifles and bayonets, wade through the water, some carrying heavy equipment such as tanks and supplies. Smoke rises from the beach as explosions rock the shoreline, the sound of gunfire and the smell of burning fuel filling the air. The militant and militaristic scene is a testament to the historic and historical significance of this day, as the Allied forces waged a fierce battle against the enemy in a pivotal moment of World War II. This image, from the II Photos collection at Mary Evans Prints Online, is a poignant reminder of the bravery and sacrifice of the men and women who served their nations during this global conflict.
