D-Day Remembered
/Seventy-five years ago American, British and Canadian forces landed on the beach at Normandy, France. They faced incredible obstacles in an attack against Nazi forces that could have been a disaster. Yet heroically the Allies ended up turning back Hitler’s army, leading to the eventual surrender of Germany and ending World War 2 in Europe.
Such intense action has been portrayed in many movies. This clip from Saving Private Ryan (1998) shows the soldiers just before landing.
Other favorite movies that portray D Day include The Longest Day (1962) and Band of Brothers (TV 2001). More are listed in this article, Pain and Patriotic Duty on D-Day Reflected in Flim and Books.
Thanks go to those amazing people who swallowed their fear to help end the war!
