DDay - 70 Years

On 6/6/44, more than 160,000 troops landed along the beaches of Normandy. More than 5k ships and 13k aircraft supported the D-Day invasion. More than 9,000 soldiers were killed or wounded, but their sacrifice allowed more than 100,000 soldiers to begin the slow, hard slog across Europe, to defeat Hitler’s troops. #DDay70
