Operation Neptune was no laughing matter. The Allies were well aware that in order to invade Germany, they would first have to liberate France and clear a path to Berlin. The allied forces gathered a total of 5,333 ships and landing craft, which were tasked with capturing the beaches along the French coast in the area of Normandy, France, in 1944. Together, the allied forces who stormed the beaches totaled 175,000 brave souls in their ranks.
