The Normandy Landings

The Normandy landings took place June 6th, 1944 and took place over the span of multiple beaches across Normandy, France. The goal of these landings were to spearhead an attack on Nazi Germany, as well as a liberation campaign to eliminate the Nazi chokehold on eastern Europe. With the assistance of Canadian and British Soldiers (Who landed at Sword, Gold and Juno Beaches), the United States Military was able to land at Omaha and Utah beaches and breach the Atlantic Wall built by Germany. D-Day was a success thanks to the countless soldiers who sacrificed themselves to storm the beaches, and was a major turning point for the fall of Hitler and Nazi Germany.
