D-Day

In 1944, in war weary Europe, June 6th was the day of days.

Allied forces landed on the beaches of Normandy in Northern France. 160,000 troops- English, Canadian, and US, shoulder to shoulder, and over 10,000 casualties...

The tide of war shifted that day, and in less than a year, Adolf Hitler was dead and the war in Europe ended.

"Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it"
George Santayana
