Here is a copy of the orders for Operation Neptune at the National Museum of the Royal Navy in Portsmouth. Sir Bertram Ramsay’s Allied Naval Expeditionary Force Headquarters was in charge of these plans. Operation Neptune, the naval component of D-day, was a complex operation involving over 5000 vessels and 195,000 naval personnel. Today I’m sharing about the naval aspect of D-day and featuring photos that relate to the naval aspect of D-day, from Portsmouth Harbor, to crossing the Channel, to the German gun batteries targeted by naval bombardment, to monuments and artifacts.
Wyatt Paxton serves first in London with the naval planning for D-day and later on a destroyer bombarding Omaha Beach.
