  • Résumé :

    As from 1942 the allied command is preparing a series of landing on the coasts of Western Europe. This operation has to "carry" the war close to the German borders and relieve the Soviet Union, which has supported the weight of a gigantic offensive of the Nazi German armies all by itself.
    For Operation Overlord, codename for the landings, to succeed, the most important air and naval fleets of all times had to be mobilized, new vehicles and arms had to be invented, artificials ports had to be made...
    But above all a breach had to be opened in the fearsome German coastal defense system -the Atlantic wall- so as to "launch" hundreds of thousands of soldiers on D-Day.
