About This D-Day Puzzle
The photograph was taken at Greenham Common airfield in England on the evening before D-Day. General Eisenhower visited the 101st Airborne to speak with men who would parachute into France behind enemy lines in the early hours of June 6. The image captures the gravity and determination of the moment — a briefing before one of the war's defining operations.
Operation Overlord involved more than 150,000 Allied troops on the first day alone, supported by naval and air forces on an enormous scale. The landings on Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword beaches opened a new front against Nazi Germany and marked a turning point toward victory in Europe.
