6 June, 1944. The beginning of the end of WW2. Incredible bravery of soldiers and resistance fighters from many nations. I read once about a small American war ship that maneuvered in between the Normandy bluffs to shield the landing craft from withering German gunfire. The ship was badly damaged but saved hundreds of soldiers and sailors. I had a relative that was on the beach that day.
