Allied forces made the biggest amphibious landing in history on France's Atlantic coast

Bzzzzzt! Nice try and thanks for playing.

The persistence of this error is astonishing.
1.) Operation Husky (Invasion of Sicily): 160,000 men.
2.) Operation Overlord (Invasion of Occupied Europe): 156,000 men.

When historians say D-Day was the largest amphibious invasion, I believe they are referring to not just the total number of ground troops, but also the number of ships and aircraft involved.
