In the early hours of June 6, 1944 - D Day - the invasion of France begins. It is the bloodiest day in American history since the Civil War. The Allies succeed in tearing a 45 mile gap in Hitler's vaunted Atlantic Wall. By day's end more than 150,000 men have landed on French soil, and more men and more equipment and supplies were coming ashore every hour.
