1944 D-Day

·         Tuesday, 6 June 1944 D-Day: The Allies reached the shore of Normandy, France. 160,000 of our Allied troops landed along a heavily-fortified French coastline to fight the Nazi Germany. General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which “we will accept nothing less than full victory” More than 5,000 ships and 13,000 aircrafts where under operation on the D-Day invasion, and by the end of that day, the Allies had already gained a foot-hold in Normandy. Over 9,000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded – we shall never forget the brave soldiers. But more than 100,000 soldiers began the march across Europe to Berlin.
