My grandfather was a WW2 veteran, so to all those who took the beach or gave their life doing so, we are because of you! To one of our greatest generations, I salute you.
JUNE 6, 1944: The Battle of Normandy during WWII was fought between the German forces occupying Western Europe and invading Allied forces. It remains the largest amphibious landing in history, with more than 156,000 troops crossing the English Channel during the initial invasion. The battle continued for more than 2 months and concluded with the liberation of Paris. Of the invasion’s 5 coastal landing points, Omaha Beach proved to be the most disastrous for Allied troops; how many were killed there that day?
Also, what if D-Day happened in modern times, how would the media have handled it?
