life: Today marks the 75th anniversary of D-Day, a pivotal day in WWII where US troops and Allies stormed the beaches of Normandy. Pictured here is a view of the Normandy beachhead, taken one week after D-Day by LIFE photographer Frank Scherschel and published in the June 26, 1944 issue. According to LIFE, “A Week after first landings, the Normandy beachhead had changed from a battlefield to a gigantic port area. Allies had captured small ports like Ouistreham and Isigny, but the beach was still the best place to land reinforcements, equipment and supplies.” (Frank Scherschel—The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images) #DDay #DDay75https://www.instagram.com/p/ByX1_m-jnaN/?igshid=18376alp1bmls -- source link
