June 6, 1944 – D-Day Invasion ‘A Date That Will Live in Infamy’
Today is the 71st anniversary of D-Day.
The Battle of Normandy, which lasted from June 1944 to August 1944, resulted in the Allied liberation of Western Europe from Nazi Germany’s control. Code-named Operation Overlord, the battle began on June 6, 1944, also known as D-Day, when some 156,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France’s Normandy region.

On June 6, 1944, the day that will forever be remembered as D-Day, some 156,000 American, British and Canadian forces landed on five beaches along a 50-mile stretch of the heavily fortified coast of France’s Normandy region. The invasion was one of the largest amphibious military assaults in history. At least 4,414 soldiers and Marines were killed in the D-Day assault.
76 years ago today—REAL anti-fascism.

For those who died so we could remain free.
