June 6 1944: 'D-Day'

Abstract: (6 pp) It has been suggested that 'D-Day ' June 6, 1944, was the defining moment for American soldiers in World War II, yet was one of the costliest of the War. The invasion, planned to push open a 'third front' against Germany (the first was Southern Italy; the second Russia), was successful, and has been considered a major turning point in the War for the Allies. Bibliography lists 5 sources and one visual.
