What tactics were used during D-Day?

The planning for "Operation Overlord" the invasion of France, involved many new tactics, some of which were the use of glider bourne troops, combined with parachutists to land behind the beaches under cover of darkness, to seize key points, such as bridges or road junctions. This was an ALL ARMS operation, which means that each of the air land and sea elements had to work together, to acheive sucess. This required many new ways of working that hadn't been tried before, such as the beach masters who controlled the un-loading of men and supplies, much like traffic cops at an intersection. A whole range of speciallised armoured vehicles were developed to deal with specific problems, such as the "flail tank" that cleared mine fields, or the flamethrower tank that attacked concete bunkers at close range. Another new tactic was having artillery guns firing from their landing craft as they closed in to the beach. By doing this, the artillery units contributed to their own sucessfull landings. Overhead, the airforces were flying two types of sorties, one to attack specific targets on the ground, the other as "on-call" fire support for the troops who needed it. Finally, the rapid re-inforcement of sucessfull units was a new tactic that required local commanders to be quick and keep up the pace of battle even at night.
