Gonzo, Many young men from all sides died during those 3 months of battle. I'm glad your grandfather survived, but humans were never ment to see and engage in such violence.

My father also was engaged along with the British. However, after the war, there were little recognition for those who survived the war. May his soul rest in peace. I miss you Pops.

My dad landed on Sword Beach. We were very proud of him and all the brave service men and women who took part.

knowbrains,
Not in the UK , it’s Remembrance Day .
11th November, as the WW1 Armistice was “ at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month”
God bless and protect all who have served and still are serving .
Player #25874027
It would be nice if the answer had explained why it is D-Day.
Apparently it the D just means Day . As in the Day something is to happen , so D-Day was June 6th . If it had been delayed June 7th was D+1 , June 8th was D+2 and so on .

After D-day, the Germans must have known they could never win the war.
