D-Day: 6 June 1944

"You remember it. Remember every bit of it, 'cause we are on the eve of a day that people are going to talk about long after we are dead and gone."
- The Longest Day


Sixty-seven years ago, the world was at war. Fighting the axis powers of Germany and Japan. England had been fighting Hitler's Nazi forces for five years and on the morning of 6 June 1944, the greatest armada the world had ever known sailed across the English Channel and landed on the beaches of Nazi-Occupied France. The Allies fought there way inland and across France and into Germany to destroy the Nazis and their hold on the world.

Remember D-Day!
