Author: Captain Augustus Dayton Clark Clark was assigned as assistant naval attaché in London and US naval observer attached to the Royal Navy's Force H under Vice Admiral James Sommerville in the Western Mediterranean in 1940-41. In 1941 he became operations officer on the staff of Vice Admiral Robert L. Ghormley in London. The following year, 1941-42, was again spent as liaison officer attached to Vice Admiral Sommerville, but this time with the British Far Eastern and Indian Ocean Fleet. Clark then returned to the United States in 1942-43 to join the staff of the Commander in Chief of the US Fleet in Washington D.C. He served there as part of the Readiness Division dealing with tactical analysis. Clark returned to Europe on the staff of Rear Admiral Alan Goodrich Kirk in London in 1943-44. From there he was appointed commanding officer of Mulberry A (CTF 128) as part of the D-Day Landings on 6 June 1944. Clark sailed to the D-Day beaches aboard SC-1329, a submarine chaser built in 1943 by Simms Bros. of Dorchester, Massachusetts. Overview: The Normandy landings began on 6 June 1944 as the opening phase of Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion of German-occupied Western Europe during the Second World War. The amphibious assault phase, codenamed Operation Neptune, involved landings along a 50-mile stretch of the Normandy coast in northern France at five designated beaches: Utah and Omaha (assigned to United States forces), Gold and Sword (assigned to British forces), and Juno (assigned to Canadian forces). Approximately 156,000 Allied troops were landed on the first day, supported by over 5,000 vessels and extensive air operations involving around 11,000 aircraft. Prior to the landings, airborne divisions were deployed inland to secure bridges, road junctions, and causeways, while naval and aerial bombardments targeted German coastal defences forming part of the Atlantic Wall. The invasion force was commanded overall by General Dwight D. Eisenhower, Supreme Commander of the Allied Expeditionary Force, with ground forces under General Bernard Montgomery. German forces in the sector were primarily under the command of Field Marshal Erwin Rommel and Field Marshal Gerd von Rundstedt. Despite difficult weather conditions and strong resistance, particularly at Omaha Beach, the Allies established five beachheads by the end of 6 June. Casualty estimates for D-Day range from approximately 10,000 Allied casualties, including over 4,000 confirmed dead, with German casualties believed to be between 4,000 and 9,000. The successful establishment of the lodgement area enabled the subsequent build-up of men and materiel, leading to the liberation of Paris in August 1944 and the eventual collapse of Nazi Germany’s control in Western Europe.
