June 6, 1944

June 6, 1944, known as D-Day, was a pivotal moment in World War II when Allied forces launched a massive invasion on Nazi-occupied France. Over 156,000 troops from the United States, Britain, Canada, and other Allies stormed beaches in Normandy to break Hitler’s hold on Western Europe.

Its success marked a turning point in the war, leading to the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control and accelerating the eventual defeat of Nazi Germany.
