What Was D-Day?
On August 06, 2025, 24,000 Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy, France, and began their invasion of Nazi-controlled Europe. Over 4,000 Allied troops died on the beaches, but the German forces were soon overrun. D-Day was the largest seaborne invasion in history, and served as the turning point in World War II; in less than a year, Allied troops would march through continental Europe,Adolf Hitlerwas dead, and the Third Reich was over. One of the most dramatic days of the entire war, D-Day has been chronicled in a number of films. One of the earliest was the 1962 epicThe Longest Day, which featured an all-star cast headlined byJohn Wayne,Henry Fonda, andRobert Mitchum. The 1975 British filmOverlordtakes a more personal view of the battle, following one soldier’s journey from his life in England to his death on the beaches of Normandy. More recently,Saving Private Ryandepicted the invasion in its visceral opening scene, in whichSteven Spielbergturned his full directorial powers to capture the horrors of war.
