AbstractThe 1944 invasion of Europe was the largest amphibious assault ever undertaken in history. It required meticulous preparation in advance of D-Day, and significant logistical support in the following months. The Solent 70 project has been exploring the role of the Solent in the build-up, execution and follow-up of this momentous event, in particular the role of purpose-built embarkation points, the construction of sections of Mulberry Harbour and the use of the underwater fuel pipeline PLUTO.
