Allied forces launch Normandy Invasion June 6, 1944
Seventy years later, Naval History & Heritage Command shares D-Day photos.
This photo gallery is made up of images from the Naval History & Heritage Command (NHHC), which has put together a website of images around Operation Overlord: Invasion Normandy.
On Monday, June 9, Julie Kowalsky, curator with NHHC's Historic Small Arms Division, joined Federal Drive with Tom Temin and Emily Kopp to talk about the work her office does.
In this photo, Army troops wade ashore on "Omaha" Beach during the D-Day landings. A Coast Guard manned LCVP [Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel] brought the troops to the beach.
