D-Day

On June 6, 1944, perhaps the most-important and singular D-Day ever to occur, 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France.

More than 9,000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded on the day some would say World War II in Europe turned in a decisive direction. Some 150,000 died in the western European theater alone, by the end of World War II.
