From the simple motorcycle to the tank, from the Jeep to the GMC, including half-tracks and specialized vehicles, this book presents the entire arsenal of American and British military equipment that landed on the beaches of Normandy.

D-Day and the subsequent massive battle mobilized thousands of soldiers and pieces of equipment, not to mention the crucial role played by the infantry during the landing. "Les véhicules alliés du D-Day" highlights the extreme mechanization of this Allied army, which rarely moved on foot. Indeed, the first of the great Allied victories was primarily a logistical success. Tens of thousands of vehicles of all sizes stretched in enormous convoys along the main French roads, enabling infantry and armored divisions to push the enemy back to the gates of the empire. The liberation of France and much of Europe is above all a victory of the internal combustion engine
