Although the first Allied soldiers landed in Normandy by parachute on the night of 5-6 June 1944, the vast majority of the liberating Allied troops had to come by sea, landing on the Normandy beaches under heavy fire and making their way inland. The Allies had various types of landing craft to bring men ashore. Some were very large, such as the Landing Ship Tank (LST), others much smaller, such as the amphibious DUKW, but it was the Higgins LCVP (Landing Craft, Vehicle, Personnel) that proved to be one of the most important types used.
Used to transport the majority of American personnel, as well as many British troops when used by the Royal Navy, they were essential as they could unload men and small vehicles, such as Jeeps, very quickly under enemy fire. Jeeps were vital because they gave the Allies mobility in the early hours of the campaign. The LCVPs could also return fire with their two 30-inch machine guns to protect the troops they were landing. Overall, D-Day was a success, largely due to the work of ships like these and their crews.
