    British Royal Navy Adm. Sir Bertram Ramsay, left, talks with U.S. Navy Rear Adm. John L. Hall Jr. aboard the command ship USS Ancon (AGC 4) May 25, 1944, at an unknown location. On May 28, 1944, Ramsay issued the order to carry out Operation Neptune, the amphibious portion of the invasion of Normandy. The morning of June 6, 1944, Allied forces conducted a massive airborne assault and amphibious landing in the Normandy region of France. The invasion marked the beginning of the final phase of World War II in Europe, which ended with the surrender of Germany the following May.
