of the Normandy Invasion.
The Yocum Library has numerous books and movies on the history of WWII.
I would like to recommend "The Longest Day" movie for you to get an idea of what went on during the invasion of the Normandy coast of France on June 6, 1944.
I visited Normandy beaches twice. Once on the 50th Anniversary of D-Day. I visited the town of Saint Mere Eglise and can picture the scenes from the movie in the town and on the beach. (Kathy Nye-Editor)

Marshall Erwin Rommel, touring the defenses being established as part of the Reich's Atlantic Wall, notes to his officers that when the Allied invasion comes they must be stopped on the beach. "For the Allies as well as the Germans, it will be the longest day. The longest day." Written by Michael Daly.
