The siege of Cherbourg
​​Utah Beach was added late into the planning for Operation Overlord. This would see landings taking place on the Cotentin peninsula and the chance for the Allied forces to move to a deep-water port.
​From 6 June to 26 June 1944, following the allied landings on D-Day, American forces would move northwards towards the port city of Cherbourg.​
