June 6, 1944

[superstup]

June 6, 1944, 160,000 Allied troops landed along a 50-mile stretch of heavily-fortified French coastline to fight Nazi Germany on the beaches of Normandy, France. General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade in which “we will accept nothing less than full victory.

” More than 5,000 Ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by day’s end on June 6, the Allies gained a foot- hold in Normandy. The D-Day cost was high -more than 9,000 Allied Soldiers were killed or wounded -- but more than 100,000 Soldiers began the march across Europe to defeat Hitler.

And it was all so France could be overrun by Socialists and Muslims a few short decades later. In retrospect, we should have kept out of Europe.

But then again If we'd kept out of Europe, it would have been overrun not by massageplanete-rat, Sartre-reading, beret-wearing, chainsmoking harmless Frog Marxists, but by the real thing: The Red Army.
