D-Day May, 1944. 3.5 million troops mobilized to strike on the coast of Normandy. June, 6th is the attack date. Germans knew an attack was coming, but thought it was on Calais beach, farther East. We sent paratroopers and gliders in ahead of the main troops hitting the beach. Still a formidable German presence on the beach, with machine guns and concertina wire. Over 3,000 Americans died on Omaha beach that day, but by August France was back in the hands of the Allied forces.

Battle of the Bulge Fought in the Ardennes Forest Last major German offensive of the war. An attempt to divide British and American forces. December, 1944 It ultimately failed. Now Hitler faced a war on two fronts rapidly approaching Germany.
