June 6, 1944: D-Day's Normandy landings mark the start of liberation of Nazi-occupied Europe
More than 150,000 allied troops invaded Normandy by air and by sea as Operation Overlord began on the day now known as D-Day.
The Allied powers launched a massive troop invasion of Normandy, France against the forces of Nazi Germany on this day in 1944 – one that unquestionably would have major bearing on the future of Europe and the wider world.
Operation Overlord began in the early hours of June 6 – dubbed D-Day – when 24,000 airborne troops parachuted or glided into northern France. By 6.30am the first of over 130,000 troops to invade by sea, conveyed by nearly 7,000 vessels, would land on the beaches of Normandy.
