Normandië 44

June 6, 1944: a date forever etched in history. With the landing of allied troops on the Normandy coast, so began one of the major confrontations of the Second World War. Twelve weeks of fierce fighting would decide the fate of the war in the West and hasten the defeat of the Third Reich. It is right that everybody should still remember the sacrifice of a region and its people, and that of those men who came from across the Atlantic and across the Channel, to rest forever in this land that they liberated.
