Best Answer

Along the fifty miles of coast where the invasion beaches lie there are three relatively small rivers which empty into the sea. From east to west the Dives, the Orne, and the Aire. The latter divided the two American assault beaches, and all were worrisome tactical obstacles for the planners.
