"A landing was made this morning on the coast of France by troops of the allied expeditionary force. This landing was but the opening phase of the campaign of western Europe. Great battles lay ahead. Together we shall achieve victory." The words of Supreme Commander General Eisenhower on June 6, 1944.
The allied invasion, in the planning stage for months, took place in the early hours of June 6 and filled the English Channel with ships of all descriptions. Fighting ships, troop ships and landing craft. 150,000 allied troops landed that morning and many died in the attempt. Many more rained down from the sky in the form of paratroopers. The invasion of Europe was on, 73 years ago!...Medicineman!
