On June 6, 1944, at 12:18 a.m., the greatest invasion in the history of the world began. It was D-Day, June 6th 1944. An intense bombardment from the air and sea came from Allied aircraft and warships. They pounded the German positions on the beaches for hours. Eventually, the Germans were flanked and reduced so that the follow-on waves of troops and supplies could begin landing. There were over 2,500 Allied soldiers, sailors and airmen killed on D-Day, June 6th 1944. A lot of hard fighting lay ahead, but the liberation of France had begun. The History Channel salutes this momentous event with the D-Day, June 6th 1944 Commemorative Collection. Designed as a large, high-mobility infantry vehicle, the M3 half-track was standardized in 1940 and was built by the Diamond T Motor Company for use during WWII and the Cold War. In order to improve its reliability and to speed up production, the M3 was produced with as many commercial components as possible. It had a longer body than its counterpart, the M2, and could carry a 13-man rifle squad. It had a fully armored body and a bullet-proof windscreen, and the radiator was protected by an adjustable armored shutter. Later variants included machine gun mounts and rear-mounted racks for crew stowage. © Copyright 2003-2026 The Flying Mule, Inc.
