(6 - 8) Sword Beach

Supported by British and French Commandos on their eastern flank and by Canadian landings on their western side, over 25,000 men of the British Army assaulted Sword Beach during the Normandy Landings of June 6th. Sword Beach offered a considerably different conflict to that of Omaha and Utah Beaches however, as only small portions of the coastal defences were placed upon cliffsides, meaning that infantry and vehicles alike could rush across the flat beaches – albeit well-defended – without risk from natural barriers. This battlefield of wide sands, dense housing blocks and open fields was the gateway to some of the most famous battles in history, from Pegasus Bridge, to Villers-Bocage and the Liberation of Caen.
