Normandy Invasion, June 1944

Landing ships putting cargo ashore on one of the invasion beaches, at low tide during the first days of the operation, June 1944. Among identifiable ships present are USS LST‑532 (in the center of the view); USS LST‑262 (third LST from right); USS LST‑310 (second LST from right); USS LST‑533 (partially visible at far right); and USS LST‑524. Note the barrage balloons overhead and Army "half-track" convoy forming up on the beach. Probably on June 9, see The Americans on D-Day: A Photographic History of the Normandy Invasion by Martin K. A. Morgan. Probably on June 9 or June 10, see p012623 at flickr
