“I looked down and there were ships and ships and ships forever. I thought about how big this was and reality was beginning to come to me. This is the biggest thing that’s ever happened. And now what? What really are we getting into?” –Sergeant Tom McCarthy, 82d Airborne Division The Allied assault on the beaches of Normandy in World War II is perhaps the most important offensive ever launched.
