D-Day Fleet 1944, British Sector

A comprehensive analysis of the Royal Navy's role in the D-Day landings reveals the intricate naval operations that secured the British Assault Area from June 6 to June 30, 1944. The study highlights the multinational nature of the fleet, including contributions from Canada, Norway, and the Free French, and underscores the complexity beyond mere troop landings—encompassing minesweeping, defense against enemy counterattacks, and resource sustainment. Leveraging previously underutilized primary documentation, archive photos, original artwork, 3D diagrams, and maps, this work provides a fresh perspective on the sea power that underpinned one of history's largest amphibious operations.
