Remembering D-Day

6/6/2019

0 Comments

 
On this day in 1944, more than 160,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy in an attempt to liberate German occupied France from Nazi control and and shift the balance of power on the Western Front of World War II. And while the casualties on that die were unimaginable, more than at least 10,000 Allied soldiers were killed or wounded, their sacrifices was a turning point in the fight. The momentum had shifted. By the end of August, Germany surrendered control of the French capital and the Allies began their fight towards Berlin.
