Additional Information
This iconic photograph taken by Robert F. Sargent, a chief photographer's mate in the United States Coast Guard, captures the moment the United States military landed at Omaha Beach to invade Nazi-occupied France at Normandy. This remains one of the most recognized images of World War II and perhaps one of the most recognized photographs of all time. Operation Neptune, commonly referred to as D-Day, was the largest military operation ever performed by the US Coast Guard and remains one of the most regarded moments of World War II as the Allied powers invaded mainland Europe in a joint effort to defeat the Axis powers in the European front.
The image remains influential in popular culture, with numerous references in cinematic releases, and the Invasion of Normandy is still studied by military strategists to this day. The stark imagery and distinctive black-and-white aesthetic capture the spirit, bravery, and determination of the soldiers who stormed the beaches under heavy fire from fortifications high above them in the hills of France. Planning for Operation Neptune began in 1943, and it was the largest seaborne invasion in military history, and was delayed for 24 hours due to inclement weather. Any further postponement would have caused significant delays, and the orders were given on June 6.
This image immediately transports the viewer back in time, linking the past to the present and illustrating the courage of the men who performed this invasion in an effort to preserve democracy across the globe and end fascism.
