US paratroopers walk back after jumping over Le Mont-Saint-Michel, north-western France on May 18, 2019, less than three weeks before the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings. In what remains the biggest amphibious assault in history, some 156,000 Allied personnel landed in France on June 6, 1944. An estimated 10,000 Allied troops were left dead, wounded or missing, while Nazi Germany lost between 4,000 and 9,000 troops, and thousands of French civilians were killed. The 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings will fall on June 6, 2019. (Photo by Damien Meyer/AFP Photo)
