69 Years Ago Today

Thousands of Allied troops invaded Fortress Europe.  French, British and American came to liberate Europe and bring them FREEDOM.  On that first day 10,000 troops died and thousands were wounded.  But a beachhead was established and the liberation had begun.

Normandy Invasion

On June 6, 1944 at 0630, the largest invasion fleet ever seen in human history brought 160,000 troops from many nations to 5 beaches in Normandy, France.

It was the start of D-Day. The long planned and awaited invasion of France by the French, British and Americans.

I could write reams of words describing the invasion, the horror of the landings, the causalities (10,000 Allied troops wounded or killed), and the heroism of the men who risked their lives to bring about the destruction of Nazi Germany.

Instead I present you a few videos that in words and pictures tell the story more eloquently than I could ever do.
