On this day, 1944 - The Allies suffered just over 10,000 casualties in a major turning point campaign (D Day) that would ultimately end the rule of terror that Nazi Germany held over much of the world. Today we remember the sacrifice! On June 6, 1944, the United States and the United Kingdom (with help from many other western countries) began the long-awaited attack from the west, the Normandy Invasion (Operation Overlord). On D-Day, the very first day of this massive amphibious invasion, thousands of ships, tanks, planes, and troops crossed the English Channel and landed on the coast of France.
