History:
A special collector set. Comprising a commemorative silver Proof coin and a copy of D-Day Landings to The Liberation of Paris book, it offers a unique insight into the day itself and the ensuing Battle for Normandy, as we remember those who conceived and carried out the largest amphibious assault in military history.
In order to open a second front and relieve pressure on the Soviet Union, the Allies had to breach the ‘Atlantic Wall’, a series of coastal defences designed to repel any seaborne invasion. A cross-channel attack was risky but with the outcome of the war hanging in the balance, Allied commanders knew they had to act decisively.
