D-day

Today is June 6. That makes today the 65th anniversary of D-day. On June 6, 1944, 156,000 men from the United States, Britain, Canada, France and Poland landed on the Normandy beaches, on the northern coast of Nazi-occupied France. Over 4,400 men died. But this was the beginning of the end for Hitler. From Normandy the Allies pushed through France, Beligum, Holland and eventually into the heart of Germany itself, which forced their surrender. Here are some pictures.

These are Canadian troops coming ashore on Juno Beach.















Sorry I was going to put more pictures on but the computer won't let me. Maybe I'll try again later.
