Operation Neptune was the initial assault phase of the Allied invasion of France on 6 June 1944 (Operation Overlord was the codename for the invasion of the entire Normandy region). The Americans stormed the beaches of Omaha and Utah, the British at Sword and Gold beaches, and the Canadians came ashore at Juno beach. Allied paratroopers had dropped behind German lines the prevent reinforcements from coming to the front as the seaborne landing troops came ashore. A successful beachhead was established which allowed for the Allies to breakout into Northwestern France in their march to Germany.

This map shows the initial beachhead during the invasion through 11 June.
