American supply trucks, armored vehicles and artillery pieces pour ashore after the beach assault was complete on D-Day. In the the skies above are barrage balloons, which had thick cables attached to their undersides designed to entangle and bring down dive-bombing aircraft. The bombardment of the beaches began at 6am on June 6, 1944, and within hours, soldiers from Canada had established the beachhead at Juno Beach and the German defenses were shattered.
