#OTD in 1944 the greatest armada ever to leave our shores delivered fire, fury and thousands of troops on to the beaches of Normandy. By the day’s end Hitler’s Atlantic Wall was punctured by the bravery, ingenuity and overwhelming firepower of Allied forces. #Dday #WW2

At Juno Beach, Royal Marines suffered heavy losses capturing Langrune-sur-Mer. Upwards of 10,000 men on both sides were casualties on D-Day; at least 100 sailors and Royal Marines with no known grave are honoured on Portsmouth Naval Memorial alone. #DDay #WW2

Naval casualties on D-Day were relatively light by the standards of the time and no Royal Navy warship was lost on June 6, although many smaller landing craft were sunk or wrecked, and ships like HMS Swift went down later in the campaign in Normandy. #DDay #WW2
