THE IMPOSSIBLE ADVENTURE One of the strangest naval expeditions ever mounted. EMBARKING FOR D-DAY It was to be the greatest amphibious operation ever mounted and at ports along the south coast of Britain the troops embarked upon the vessels that would carry them across the Channel to the beaches of Normandy. In a series of unique photographs we show the men embarking at Weymouth, and the surrounding area, for the start of Operation Overlord. INTO DANGEROUS WATERS The Allied invasion of Normandy had begun, but the Channel Islands were still in German hands. Cut-off from the mainland and with food stocks virtually exhausted the Germans (and the islanders) faced a bleak winter unless they could be persuaded to surrender. When no response was received to the requests for contact made by Allied Headquarters, a single, unarmed launch was sent across the sea to the most powerfully defended part of Hitlera€ s Atlantic Wall.
