The Dieppe raid of 1942, a costly failure, showed the Allies were incapable of taking intact any French port. There was a deception plan to show the invasion would be in the most obvious place, the Pas de Calais. (Opposite Dover) There was much Allied bombing from the air of the French communications system to disable German movement of reinforcements. The beaches were separated into 5 sections, 2 US, 2 British & 1 Canadian. Codenamed Gold, Juno, Sword, Omaha & Utah. There were casualties in large number on Omaha. There were also parachute & gliderborne landings on each flank of the beaches. The first objective was simply to get ashore, destroy defenses & establish a bridgehead. There was naval & air fire support. The planning process was long and exhaustive, the Allies had one chance to get it right, it was, and still is, the largest amphibious operation in history. D Day has the codename Operation Overlord. 6th June 1944.
