D-Day - Limbering up for the Invasion
American soldiers use the dockside in a small English harbour to keep fit during the pre-landing period. The landing ships are berthed alongside. D-Day began on June 6th, 1944 at 6:30am and was conducted in two assault phases - the air assault landing of allied troops followed by an amphibious assault by infantry. The Normandy landings were the largest single-day amphibious actions ever undertaken, involving close to 400, 000 military and naval personnel"

EDITORS COMMENTS
This evocative photograph captures a moment of quiet preparation before the historic D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944. American soldiers are seen using the quay side of a small English harbor as a makeshift gymnasium, limbering up for the monumental assault on Normandy, France. The landing ships, berthed alongside, loom large in the background, a reminder of the massive logistical operation underway. The Normandy landings, also known as Operation Neptune, were the largest single-day amphibious actions in history, involving nearly 400,000 military and naval personnel. The operation began with an air assault landing of Allied troops at 6:30 am, followed by an amphibious assault by infantry. The soldiers in this image are seen stretching, doing squats, and other exercises, their determined faces a testament to the intense physical and mental preparation required for the mission. The scene is a poignant reminder of the human element of this pivotal moment in World War II history. The harbor, with its dockside and quay, provides a stark contrast to the chaos and violence that would soon unfold in the waters and on the beaches of Normandy. This photograph, taken during the pre-landing period, offers a rare glimpse into the calm before the storm of one of the most significant events of the 20th century.
