Ike and Monty Review the Troops Before D-Day

Gen. Dwight Eisenhower, commander-in-chief of Allied Forces in Europe, reviews troops shortly before the June 6, 1944 Normandy invasion, while British Gen. Bernard Montgomery looks on. The invasion of Northwest Europe by the Allies, code-named Operation Overlord, saw more than 2 million troops land on French soil between D-Day and late August; hundreds of thousands of casualties on both sides, and tens of thousands of deaths; and constituted one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history.
