The Normandy landings were the landing operations of the Allied invasion of Normandy during World War II. Its codename was Operation Neptune and later became known as D-Day.
On 6 June 1944, a LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel) from the U.S. Coast Guard-manned USS Samuel Chase disembarked troops of Company E, 16th Infantry, 1st Infantry Division and waded onto the Fox Green section of Omaha Beach, Normandy, France. American soldiers encountered resistance from the newly formed German 352nd Division when landing. During the initial landing two-thirds of Company E were killed.[1]
In 2012, a photograph of US Marines coming ashore on the beach was acquired by the Assassin Clay Kaczmarek and hidden in the Animus for his successor, Desmond Miles to find. Desmond did so in September of that year.[2] The picture was hidden with the Glyph puzzle titled "The Bunker".[1]
