Blog 15: Special: 2 Normandy · 1:28pm Jun 6th, 2022
On this day, June 6th, 1944; Was the largest navel landing in the world.
D-Day.
The Normandy landings were the largest seaborne invasion in history. The operation, codenamed Operation Neptune, began the liberation of German-occupied northwestern Europe from Nazi control and contributed to the Allied victory on the Western Front.
More than 150,000 brave young soldiers from the United States, the United Kingdom and Canada stormed the beaches of Normandy, France in a bold strategy to push the Nazis out of Western Europe and turn the tide of the war for good.
And if I remember this right, there were 200,000+ casualties either K.I.A or W.I.A for the Allies. But plese someone fact check me. I know the number is correct-ish but the facts very... a lot.
Anyway, this happened 78 years ago now. May the fallen be remembered and the victorious never forgotten.
Here are some videos that I found of are veterans.
