d-day landings
These incredible before and after pictures show the true horror and heroism of a day that changed the world. On June 6, 1944, Allied soldiers descended on the beaches of Normandy for D-Day, in an operation that marked the beginning of the end of a devastating six-year conflict and the eventual victory over Nazi Germany in World War Two.
Two veterans marked the 75th anniversary of the D-Day landings by taking part in a parachute jump. 95-year-old Harry Read and 94-year-old John Hutton flew over the English Channel and landed in Normandy, recreating their actions during the beach landings of June 6, 1944.
On the 75th anniversary of the D-day landings, we hear eyewitness’ accounts on what it was like fighting in a battle that paved the way for the liberation of western Europe from the Nazi regime.
It’s been seventy-five years since the D-Day landings, where the allied forces of British, Canadian and American forces beat the Germans in World War II.
