"How can I find colorized pictures from D-Day and the Battle for Normandy?"

The first color photograph of D-Day was taken by a German soldier, Konstantsin Grigorovich, using a subminiature camera.

The iconic "Into the Jaws of Death" photograph was originally taken in black and white by Robert F.

Sargent and then digitally colorized by electrician Royston Leonard.

The Normandy landings took place on five beaches - Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno, and Sword.

The operation was the largest amphibious invasion in history, involving nearly 5000 landing and assault craft, 289 escort vessels, and 277 minesweepers.

The Allies suffered over 10,003 casualties on the first day, with at least 4414 confirmed dead.

Nearly 160000 troops crossed the English Channel on D-Day with 875000 men disembarking by the end of June.

The German forces lost approximately 1000 soldiers on D-Day.

The operation was codenamed "Overlord" and was two years in the planning.

Airborne troops parachuted behind enemy lines to capture bridges and cut off German reinforcements.

The operation was originally planned for May 1944 but was postponed until June due to bad weather.

The Allied forces were made up of American, British, Canadian, and Free French troops.

The operation paved the way for the liberation of Western Europe from German occupation.

The operation marked the beginning of the end of World War II in Europe.
