The D-Day invasion on June 6, 1944 put over 180,000 troops ashore in Normandy, creating a beachhead that would eventually result in over 3 million Allied soldiers on Germany’s Western Front. Combined with the Eastern Front battles with Russian forces, the Allied forces overwhelmed the German army, forcing an unconditional surrender on May 8, 1945, commonly known as V-E Day.
