A SALUTE TO HEROES
In memory of the courage, sacrifice and heroism of the brave men and women who fought in Normandy, artist Simon Smith has created two memorable images to remember the 80th anniversary of D-Day.
|
ACT OF VALOR
After single-handedly destroying a German Mark V Panther tank that had pinned down his unit, First Lieutenant James ‘Maggie’ Megellas leads his platoon from the 3rd Battalion, 504th Parachute Infantry Regiment, 82nd Airborne towards the Belgian town of Herresbach, 28 January 1945, as the Battle of the Bulge draws to its conclusion.
Minutes before, despite being vastly outnumbered in heavy snow and freezing conditions, the platoon had overwhelmed and completely defeated a large force of German infantry in a ferocious frontal assault, without losing a single man.

|
ADVANCE FROM UTAH
With the German positions smoldering behind them, First Lieutenant Dick Winters and his men gaze thoughtfully into the horizon and their next objective, realizing that for them the war is only beginning.

ARNHEM AIRBORNE ASSAULT
Simon's graphic portrayal depicts a scene on the first day of Operation Market Garden as, early in the afternoon, glider borne infantry from the British 1st Air Landing Brigade successfully secure ‘DZ-X’, the drop-zone on Renkum Heath several miles to the west of Arnhem. Overhead paratroopers from the 1st Parachute Brigade begin their drop from USAAF C-47s.

ASSAULT ON OMAHA BEACH - the book and print portfolio
Charging into a blizzard of unyielding machine-gun and mortar fire, elements of the 29th Infantry Division lead the assault on Omaha Beach, 6 June 1944. The scene at the water’s edge is one of chaos and bloody carnage as the heavily laden troops begin the 200 yard rush across the bullet-swept sands of what would later be known as ‘Bloody’ Omaha.
