D-day was a truly memorable and tragic time in history. This was when the Allies had attacked the Nazi's on Normandy beach in France. They people that day were very brave. They were brave enough to stand up for what they believed in and fight for the freedom of other. The Allies had attacked at 5 different beaches. Beach Omaha, Utah, Juno, Gold, and Sword. They were planning to take the beach back from Nazi rule. They gave their lives to save others.

On June 6th, 1944 thousands of American, Canadian, French, and British soldiers stormed the beaches of Normandy. These beaches were called Omaha, Utah, Juno, Gold, and Sword. The plan was to take the beaches, then take France back from the Nazi's. The Americans had a very smart plan. First, they tricked the Germans where they were going to land their troops at. Then, in the early morning they sent paratroopers and air support to destroy bridges and cut off support lines. After many days of fighting, the Americans finally took all of the beaches. One thing I learned was it took longer to capture Omaha and Utah than any other beaches. The Allies took 10,000 causalities, while the Nazi's only took 1,000.

A day truly immortalized by the bravery and daring of thousands of people, gathered together in one spot. D-day, June 6th, 1944, was a day where thousands of people made sacrifices for the greater amount of people around the world. D- day was originally called code name Neptune which was fitting due to how large of a sea invasion there was that day.  When such a large number of lives were at stake and in limbo it is mind boggling to see all of those people who added their lives on the list of people who could die in order to try to somehow decrease said list.  Here, on one coastline,  thousands of lives traded for millions.  You may think it then to be the obvious thing to do but in the end, with something as valuable as life, it is hard for one person let alone thousands of people to try to make that kind of choice. It was something amazing and irreplaceable.

D-Day took place on June 6,1944. The allies attacked the 5 beaches of Normandy, Omaha beach having the largest amount of casualties. Allies put their lives on the line to liberate all the country's controlled by Nazi Germany. There was an estimated 12,000 allied forces casualties and only 1,000 German casualties. Germany was trying to slow the allies advancement by blowing up the bridges after they crossed. The allies were brave people from all over the world coming together for one cause. Although WWII was a terrible war it was a turning point in history, starting with D-Day. D-Day gave hope to everyone, especially the countries waiting to be liberated.
