Huntsville Doppler is sharing these photos in commemoration of the 80th anniversary of D-Day, on June 6, 1944, when an estimated 132,600 American, British, Canadian and other allied troops and 23,400 paratroopers stormed the coast of Normandy along five beaches to push back the enemy in what is referred to as one of the largest land and sea invasions in military history. While the invasion may have been key in helping win the war, according to the US National D-Day Memorial Foundation, it also resulted in the death of an estimated 4,415 allied military personnel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

About 75 million people died in World War 2, including about 20 million military personnel and 40 million civilians, many of whom died due to deliberate genocide during the Holocaust, bombing, disease, and starvation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was a “sacrificial road that led to V-E Day (May 8, 1945), and the return of democracy, freedom to much of Europe after six years of total war against the tyranny and evil of fascism,” as former Huntsville High School teacher Peter Kear recently noted in a comment on Huntsville Doppler. <\/p>\n\n\n
