There are so many websites dealing with D-Day, Operation Overlord and the second world war that it is only possible to represent a small sample here. Each of these provide extensive links to other websites for those wanting to explore further.

D-Day Museum
www.ddaymuseum.co.uk
The D-Day Museum was established in 1984 to tell the story of Operation Overlord from its origins in the dark days of 1940 to victory in Normandy in 1944. The museum's centrepiece is the Overlord Embroidery, the largest work of its kind in the world. Inspired by the Bayeux Tapestry, it is a moving tribute to the efforts and sacrifices of the Allies in defeating Nazi Germany.

The museum's displays and exhibitions are mirrored on its website, which features information on the preparations for D-Day; the channel crossing; the role of air and sea forces; countdowns on the day's events at each of the five invasion beaches; individual memories; and an informative 'frequently asked questions' (FAQs) section.

The museum website also features an exhaustive set of links to other websites. All in all, it comprises the best starting point for anyone with an interest in Operation Overlord and D-Day.
