DOUVRES la DELIVRANCE. France (CP) —- The largest 1.11 vasion in the history of modern warfare was launched 20 years ago today.

For snme H.000 allied troops tugging at the leash in Britain. it was D-Day. Operation Over- lord. a military plan destined to free Europe of dominationl by Adolf Hitler. was under way. .

Veterans of that operation 20l years ago began (‘E‘l‘t‘mnnlCo here Friday to pay tribute to! the dead of the United States,

it was along 60 miles of the Normandy coastline here tom the Allied invaders came. U.b. contingents landed at Utah and Omaha beaches. while British and Canadian forces stormed ashore at Gold, Juno and Sword beaches.

The invaders came under the command of Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower. who made the fate- ful decision to ﬂivade at 4:15 am. June 5. 1944. The greatest armada of ships ever assembled -—from battleships to tugboats -—sailed for the coast of Nox~ mandy in the early hours of June 8. 1 .

1.000.000 PARTICIPATE!)

The "battle for the. beam:- head" lasted from June 0 until July 25th. During that time about 1.000.000 men were put ashore to fight Hitler's army.

There were 13 US. divisions. 11 British and one Canadian. In all. 566.648 tons of equipment. came ashore. along with 171,532 Vehicles.

By midnight of June 0. some 132.700 Allied soldiers had been landed on the beaches. Casual- ties of both seaborns and air- borne assaults were estimated at more than 10.000—some 6,000 Americans and about 3.300 Brit- ish and 1,000 Canadians.

The plan behind Operation Overlord was simple. The idea was to establish a beachhead at Norma y. pour troops and equipment in, and then break out to l‘ k up with Allied. armies coming up om the south of France and Italy. presenting Hitler with a second front.

Ituworked.

Hitler was forced to fight the Allied armies in the West and the Russian army in the east. The strength of his mica was sapped in this effort.
