Year 12 Modern - D-Day Landings

Today is the 65th anniversary of the D-Day Landings, when 150,000 British, American and Canadian troops landed on 5 beaches in Normandy, in northern France. These landings saw the opening of a western front in the fight against Nazism, and within a year the German military machine had been crushed, and Hitler had committed suicide.

You can read this article on the BBC website, and from there you can find links to further information, maps and FAQs about the landings.
