82 years since the Day of Days.
Nearly 160,000 Allied troops crossed the English Channel to invade Normandy, France. This included 133,000 seaborne troops and 23,000 airborne troops who landed behind enemy lines. By nightfall, the Allies had successfully established five fortified beachheads to liberate Nazi-occupied.
By the end of June 6, Allied assault forces suffered approximately 10,300 casualties (killed, wounded, and missing).
Incomprehensible struggle and resilience… Sacrifices that should never be forgotten.
