Normandy6

U.S. Navy LSTs and other vessels unloading at low tide at Normandy, soon after the June 1944 invasion. USS LST-55 is in the center, behind the closest barrage balloon. USS LST-61 is at right. Though dated 6 June 1944, this photograph was actually taken at least a day later. Note beach obstacles collected on the shoreline in the right center, shipping offshore, and trucks and other vehicles in the foreground. Original description: "This graphic tells the story of how the France beachhead was supplied on "D-Day". 6 June 1944"
