The Role of the SAS and SOE in D-Day Operations

While the D-Day landings on June 6, 1944, are celebrated as a turning point in World War II, the success of Operation Overlord was not solely dependent on the amphibious assault on Normandy's beaches. Behind enemy lines, in the shadows, another crucial campaign was unfolding, orchestrated by the Special Air Service (SAS) and the Special Operations Executive (SOE). These elite units played a vital role in disrupting German defences, gathering intelligence, and paving the way for the Allied invasion.
