Historical artwork depicting the Battle of D-Day

On June 6, 1944, over 156,000 Allied troops landed on five beaches in Normandy in the largest amphibious invasion in history. Despite fierce German resistance, especially at Omaha Beach, the Allies established a foothold in Nazi-occupied Europe. D-Day opened the Western Front and began the liberation of France, leading to Germany's defeat less than a year later.

The D-Day weather forecast was so critical that Eisenhower had two letters prepared: one for success and one taking personal blame for failure. The failure letter was found in his wallet after the war.
