Normandy Landing Poster - Amphibious Training of the GIs
Discover the story behind this artwork
This photograph illustrates an amphibious training of American soldiers at Slapton Sands, in the United Kingdom, in preparation for the Normandy Landings. The LCVPs visible here are those of the USS Joseph T. Dickman (APA-13), a key ship of the Allied forces during the Second World War.
The GIs, equipped with gas alert bands on their left sleeves, land in a relaxed atmosphere, under a clear sky, during these maneuvers aimed at perfecting landing techniques. An LST (Landing Ship, Tank) is also visible in the background, attesting to the intense military logistics implemented for these crucial exercises.
This image was used for the cover of the book "Sterling Point Books: Invasion: The Story of D-Day" by Bruce Bliven, highlighting the importance of these preparations in the success of D-Day.
