Description: 2024 1 oz D-Day BU Silver Coin - 80th Anniversary On June 6, 1944 the Allied assault infamously known as "D-Day" began in Normandy. Planned for months under the codename "Operation Overlord", it was the largest seaborne invasion in history. Plans of the attack were complicated and relied on moon phases, tides, and time of day to make only a few days each month suitable. The invasion began shortly after midnight the morning of June 6th with aerial and naval bombardments as well as airborne assault.Over 24,000 American, British, and Canadian airborne troops descended. The amphibious landing on the beach of Normandy began at 6:30AM and was divided into five sectors: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword.Surprise was critical in the Allied invasion plan. If Germans had known where or when the Allied forces would attack, their massive force of 55 divisions in France would have been sufficient to mount a major resistance and likely defeat allied forces as they would have outnumbered them 10-1.Landing under heavy fire from Nazi guns overlooking the beaches, the men faced mines, wooden stakes, metal tripods and barbed wire on the beach. The invasion fleet drew from eight different navies and comprised of 6,939 vessels, 1,213 warships, 4,126 landing crafts, 735 ancillary crafts, and 864 merchant vessels. The majority of the fleet was supplied by the UK, which provided 892 warships and 3,261 landing craft. A total of 195,000 naval personnel were involved in the Normandy invasion, of which 135,000 were part of British forces, 53,000 were American, and the rest were from other Allied countries. The day was not entirely won by Allied forces, but it established enough of a foothold to continue. Allied casualties were approximately 10,000, with 4,414 confirmed dead.
