6th of June 1944

On June 6, 1944, known as D-Day, Allied forces launched a massive invasion of Nazi-occupied France during World War II. Organized mainly on the beaches of Normandy, France, thousands of soldiers from the United States, Britain, Canada, and other countries fought to establish a foothold in Western Europe. This critical operation aimed to begin pushing German forces back and ultimately led to the defeat of Nazi Germany. D-Day is considered a turning point in the war, marking the start of the Allied liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control.
