D-Day in Color: Reinforcements Secure the Beachhead 🇺🇸🇬🇧

The Normandy beachhead is now firmly in Allied hands as supply convoys, DUKWs, and fresh troops continue moving inland after the initial assault.

German prisoners are gathered under guard while Coast Guard rescue boats and hospital ships work offshore to recover survivors and evacuate the wounded.

A sweeping panoramic view reveals the massive scale of the secured beachhead, now packed with ships, vehicles, supply depots, and the wreckage left behind by the invasion.

The largest amphibious invasion in history was now firmly underway.

RIGHT NOW in 1944, this is the scene in Normandy. The liberation of France is underway #DDay

@JDVance Wow. Pot calling kettle black here. Sort your own country out before you start criticising others. Stupid cunt.

D-Day in Color: Reinforcements Continue to Pour Into Normandy 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Allied troops wade ashore during the Normandy landings as more waves of infantry, vehicles, and supplies arrive behind the initial assault.

LCIs ferry fresh troops from transport ships while LSTs unload jeeps, trucks, and equipment onto smaller landing craft just offshore.

An endless flow of men and machinery that kept the invasion moving after the initial landings.

D-Day in Color: Naval Bombardment & Troop Deployment Begins 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Allied battleships unleash massive salvos toward the Normandy coast as troops climb down cargo nets into packed landing craft during the opening stages of D-Day.

D-Day in Color: The Hours Before the Invasion (1944) 🇺🇸🇬🇧

Allied troops board landing craft and transport ships in Southern England before the launch of the D-Day invasion.

American soldiers carrying full combat gear pack tightly into LCVPs as convoys of landing craft head out toward the English Channel for one of the largest military operations in history.

The tense final moments before the Normandy landings began.

Rare, incredible foofage of the easternmost landing on Sword Beach during D-Day (June 6, 1944), located near Ouistreham in Normandy. British soldiers from the 3rd Infantry Division had been tasked with securing the left flank and advancing toward Caen.

What a waste 🕊

🛩️ This is so cool: A Redditor living under SFO's takeoff path built a ceiling projection that maps every plane flying over their house in real time, using ADS-B, the open radio signal aircraft broadcast on 1090 MHz. Same feed as FlightRadar24, picked up with a cheap SDR dongle and beamed onto the ceiling.

What It’s Like Inside the Nose of a B-17 Flying Fortress 🇺🇸

Rare footage from inside the plexiglass nose of a surviving B-17 Flying Fortress gives a close-up look at the bomber’s iconic forward compartment while in flight.

The video clearly shows the famous Norden bombsight, .50 caliber cheek guns with ammunition belts loaded, and the cramped navigator’s station where crews operated during WWII bombing missions over Europe.

This exact position was once occupied by bombardiers and navigators flying deep into enemy territory aboard the Flying Fortress.

In HBO’s The Pacific, Gunnery Sergeant John “Manila John” Basilone becomes a legend during the brutal night fighting on Guadalcanal. 🪖

🧵The real story behind that machine gun stand is even more extraordinary.

@ZiaYusufUK How many former tories are now in Reform?? You really are a silly cunt.

[Bobbi @kittenaround_51]

These guys found an abandoned dock along a Chicago river and decided to set up a cam to see what wildlife was in the area. They got some great footage.

@ZiaYusufUK How many former Tory’s are in reform? Silly cunt

@Con_Tomlinson Cat check: Mohammed Fahir Amaaz was found guilty of assaulting two police officers and a member of the public and has been held on remand. He will be sentenced next month.

Current summary of right wing UK politics:

Conservatives - We've suddenly remembered lots of things we accidentally forgot to do during our 14 YEARS in government that we would definitely do straight away this time, promise

Reform - The Conservatives who messed the country up for 14 years were worried you wouldn't vote for them again so have made another party and are hoping you won't notice it's full of the people who messed up the country for 14 years

UKIP - We still think it's 1998

Restore - Led by a bore in need of a golf club. Been chucked out of Reform for being racist? We're the party for you!
