Short beach

Short Beach does not correspond to a widely recognized military unit in established military history. However, the name "Short Beach" is notably associated with one of the landing sectors used by Allied forces during the D-Day invasion of Normandy on June 6, 1944. Situated between Sword and Juno Beaches, this sector was assaulted primarily by British and Canadian units as part of Operation Overlord. The troops faced strong German resistance but successfully established a foothold, contributing to the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi occupation. The actions at Short Beach exemplified the courage and coordination of the Allied invasion forces during World War II.
