Bad počasie, nepriatelská fire resides amphibious tanks of podpornej group of navy and of tohto dôvodu the first wave of pechoty pristáva on the beach about 07,25 without akejkolvek support.
Two support plavidlá are zasiahnuté, from tohto dôvodu sa no ostrelovanie German oporného point, an air raid on the nemeckú crew is an underachiever.

Assault platoon 1. battalion Hampshireského regiment stratia his older dôstojníkov, rádiá and delostreleckích pozorovatelov.

Polného regiment Royal delostrelectva (147th Field Regiment, Royal Artillery).

To zotmenia su Hamel and Arromanches in british hands – 231. The brigade occupied the radarovú stanicu Arromanches and delostrelecká batteries bola opustená without one výstrelu, after ako bola zasiahutá of HMS Emerald (D66).
