D-Day
June 6, 1944
The landings on the coast of Normandy, France, during World War II -- the largest seaborne invasion in human history -- were the beginning of the Allied assault on Hitler's "Fortress Europe."
On June 6, 1944, everyday Americans joined with British and Canadian troops to achieve their mutual objective: get ashore, stay ashore, and break through the enemy's coastal defenses. |
