Operation Overlord, D-Day, and all the logistics and cooperation and sacrifice took on a new meaning for me when I saw the massive area over which it took place. One of the things I found most impressive was the conceptualizing of the Mulberry system on Gold Beach at Arromanches. Knowing they had to not only take and hold the beach, but resupply and feed and evacuate the troops as the operation continued, Allied forces conceived, built, and deployed a harbor that they towed with them across the Channel. It consisted of a breakwater of old ships and then a system of concrete structures and floating roads. The magnitude of it all is absolutely mind boggling! If no one has done a documentary about this, they are missing an amazing story. This is what remains. #dday #adventurevo #amazing
