The story

The other half of the D-Day story: while the airborne secured exits inland, troops and vehicles came through a vulnerable beachhead. Landing craft, vehicles and a B-26 bomber.

What to look for

After Brécourt, focus on the maps of beach exits and artillery threats — the reason for the assault becomes clear.
