The 80th anniversary of the D-Day landings, a pivotal moment in World War II, is being commemorated with veterans and dignitaries gathering in Normandy, France.
D-Day marked the beginning of the end for Nazi Germany, as Allied forces launched a massive amphibious assault on June 6, 1944, which ultimately led to the liberation of Western Europe from Nazi control. This year, surviving veterans from the UK have embarked on a poignant journey to Caen, France, to participate in commemorative events.
The Normandy landings, involving thousands of troops from the United States, Britain, Canada, and other Allied nations, are remembered as a bold and strategic operation that shifted the momentum of the war in favor of the Allies.
