D-Day commemorates the day when Allied forces launched a massive invasion of Nazi-occupied Normandy, France, as part of Operation Overlord that took place on June 6, 1944.
Thousands of American and Allied paratroopers landed around Normandy Beach ahead of the largest armada of thousands of ships ever assembled transporting huge numbers of Allied troops across the English Channel to fight Nazi control.
It would become the largest air, land and sea assault in history, the beginning of the end of Hitler’s takeover of Europe.
Thousands of American and Allied troops died on D-Day and in the fighting that followed.
The successful invasion marked a major turning point in the war, as it was the beginning of the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control.
