The Allied invasion, which began on June 6, 1944, led to the defeat of the Nazis and the end of the war.
The assault began with Allied aircraft bombing German defenses in Normandy, followed by around 1,200 aircraft that carried airborne troops.
As dawn broke, Allied forces started bombing German coastal defenses and shortly after that vessels began putting troops ashore on five codenamed beaches: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword. Few witnesses to history’s biggest amphibious invasion remain alive today.
