Although my grandfather was on the other side , I deeply respect the soldiers who went through the hell of that invasion and liberated Europe (and us too
 ) from the Nazi terror.

June 1944 was a double blow to Hitler, first from the West then latter in the month from the East.
June 5th/6th 1944 Airborne operations followed by the sea landings by the western Allies. Later on, the Ost Front... June 23rd 1944 Operation Bagration, the Red Army launches as massive summer operation that would result in the destruction of Army Group Centre. Hitler feared two major fronts and now he pays the price of his mistakes.

Quote:
While the usually forgotten Operation Bagration was probably much more decisive in winning the war than Overlord was, had Overlord not been executed much of western Europe would have fallen under the Soviet heel as the east. So, salute!

@ Jim: I like the map. It is, however (like all such maps) missing one thing in the middle - a French flag. The underground played a major role in sabotaging German supply lines that day, yet they rarely get mentioned; probably because their role was not nearly so dramatic.
