Periscope - Perisher** ** The Perisher course is for budding Rkyal Navy Submarine Captains. So called because of the severity and failure rate thereon.

Operation Overlord was the code name for the Battle of Normandy, the Allied operation that launched the successful invasion of German-occupied Western Europe during World War II. The operation was launched on 6 June 1944 with the Normandy landings (Operation Neptune, commonly known as D-Day).
