Less than a year after the invasion, the Allies formally accepted Nazi Germany’s surrender. The significance of the D-Day landings lies in the fact that they represented a major turning point in World War II and allows us to reflect on those who gave their lives to guarantee the freedom enjoyed today. The events of D-Day forged partnerships and reinforced trans-Atlantic bonds that remain strong today.ĭ-Day will be commemorated on Monday, June 6, 2022, the 78th anniversary of D-Day also known as the Allied Invasion of Normandy. By the end of the day, the Atlantic Wall, (which took the Germans years to build), had fallen and the invasion was a success. As dawn broke, the largest armada ever assembled began its assault on the beaches of Normandy. Five landing beaches were selected for the assault: Utah, Omaha, Gold, Juno and Sword beaches. The Normandy beaches were chosen because of the range of air cover, and it was the shortest distance from Great Britain. On June 6, 1944, Allied soldiers bravely stormed the beaches of Normandy, France.
