Descripción del sitio
Gold Beach was one of the two beaches attacked by British troops. They left from Southampton on the north side of the English Channel in the wee hours of the morning. A strong wind whipped up the water level until it covered the mines hidden on the beach. Therefore, the troops were unable to disarm the mines which subsequently damaged many of the military vehicles which were to be used for the inland attack. However, by midday most of the beach was in the hands of the British. There were only 400 casualties.
