D-Day: Operation Overlord

"You will enter the continent of Europe and, in conjunction with other United Nations, undertake operations aimed at the heart of Germany and the destruction of her armed forces."

—Directive to Dwight D. Eisenhower,
Upon his appointment as Supreme Commander

---

"...the first twenty-four hours of the operation will be decisive...the fate of Germany depends on the outcome...for the Allies, as well as Germany, it will be the longest day."

—Field Marshal Erwin Rommel
April 22, 1944

On June 6, 1944, thousands of Allied troops, including the U.S., Great Britain, and Canada, stormed the beaches at Normandy, an event that was the turning point in World War II in Europe. Known as D-Day, it was the largest seaborne invasion in history, opening a second front with Germany, and (with constant pressure from the Soviets in the east) put the fearsome Third Reich on the defensive.

In remembrance of the heroism and sacrifice that took place more than 70 years ago, we have special D-Day themed missions.
