Musée du Débarquement - Arromanches, France - Flags of the World on Waymarking.com

The Normandy landings (codenamed Operation Neptune) were the landing operations on Tuesday, 6 June 1944 (termed D-Day) of the Allied invasion of Normandy in Operation Overlord during World War II. The largest seaborne invasion in history, the operation began the liberation of German-occupied northwestern Europe from Nazi control, and contributed to the Allied victory on the Western Front.

Arromanches is remembered as a historic place of the Normandy landings and in particular as the place where an artificial port for Operation Neptune was installed. This artificial port allowed the disembarkation of 9,000 tons of material per day.
