This June 6th marks the 65th anniversary of one of the most iconic battles of World War 2: Operation Overlord, more commonly known as D-Day.  It is the largest amphibious military operation in history, and the resulting allied success in liberating Paris marked the beginning of the end of the German war machine.

From the archives of Life magazine comes a collection of magnificent photos associated with D-Day, some showing soldiers in a lighter moment, others the chaos of battle.
