I rise with my red hair
And I eat men like air."

June 6, 1944: D-Day
In color photos taken before and after the invasion, LIFE magazine’s Frank Scherschel captured countless lesser-known scenes from the run-up to the onslaught and the heady weeks after: American troops training in small English towns; the French countryside, implausibly lush after the spectral landscape of the beachheads; the reception GIs enjoyed en route to the capital; the jubilant liberation of Paris itself.
