The Invasion Begins by Commander Rex Phillips.

British troops in Royal Naval landing craft approach Sword Beach during the D- Day landings, while overhead Typhoons attack the German heavy gun and machine gun positions defending the beaches. Sword beach was the furthest east of the five Normandy invasion beaches - the others were codenamed Juno, Gold, Omaha and Utah. Sword beach was subdivided into four areas; Queen, Roger, Peter and Oboe beaches, and was a five mile beach from Ouistreham at the mouth of the River Orne on the east stretching west to Lion-sur-Mer. At Sword Beach were the British 3rd Division, the 1st Lancashire Regiment, 2nd East Yorkshire regiment, the 8th Infantry Brigade and 13th / 18th Hussars. The task of taking Caen and the airfields nearby was given to the 3rd Division. Losses on the first day were 630 dead and wounded from a force of 29,000 men.
