On June 6, 1944, Allied troops hit the Normandy beach on the coast of France on D-Day. Thousands were killed, but the rest didn't give up, and kept coming on in the face of withering enemy fire.

It was the beginning of the end (along with Russia's massive fighting on the Eastern Front) of Hitler's Nazi Germany.
