| U.S. troops storm the beaches of Normandy during D-Day in June 1944. The ambitious amphibious invasion of Nazi-occupied France led by the Allies helped turn the tide of World War II. |
Allied forces storm the beaches of Normandy, France during the D-Day invasion that marked the turning point in the European theatre of World War II.
Four of the beaches, code-named Gold, Juno, Sword, and Utah, were captured relatively easily. However, German forces at Omaha beach put up a fierce fight, resulting in more than 2,000 American casualties.
