Around 150,000 soldiers landed on the beaches of Normandy on the first day in the largest amphibious operation in history. Within a month more than 1 million men had been put ashore. As memory becomes history first - hand accounts of this incredible moment become more and more precious. In D - Day Diary historian Carol Harris brings together remarkable tales of bravery survival and sacrifice from what was one of the war's most dramatic and pivotal episodes.
