1 - Eisenhower’s masterplan and the Airborne assault

Tuesday, 6 June 1944 was barely an hour old when Major John Howard and the men of D Company, Ox and Bucks Light Infantry, hurtled out of the night sky above Normandy. Behind them the largest invasion force ever to set sail was approaching the French coast. After four long and brutal years of Nazi occupation, the liberation of mainland Europe was underway – D-Day had begun.
