US troops debarked in France at half a dozen ports. By far the most of these landed in Brest, nearly 800,000. About another 200,000 landed at St. Nazaire. Both these small port cities so familiar to WWI doughboys became notorious in WWII for their use as German submarine bases, once the Germans occupied France. British troops used ports on the northern French coast, behind that portion of the front they held.
