On 6 June 1944, now known as D-Day, Allied forces landed on the beaches at Normandy in an attempt to liberate German-occupied mainland Europe from Nazi control. The landings constituted the largest seaborne invasion in history, and laid the foundation for Allied victory on the Western Front.
Using rare archival footage from the archive at IWM, this flip book recreates Exercise Fabius, the largest amphibious training exercise of the war and the final rehearsal for arguably the most risky military operation in history - D-Day.
