Men Of The 1st Infantry Division Leaving England For Normandy On D-Day
The Battle of Normandy was a difficult battle that lasted from June to August 1944. The parties fought for Western Europe, and the soldiers had a difficult time doing so. We doubt that the 156,000 troops from the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom had any idea that the battle would last nearly a month! It began on June 6, despite the fact that it was supposed to begin a day earlier. The operation had to be postponed due to bad weather. Dwight Eisenhower addressed the brave troops, saying, “You are about to embark upon the Great Crusade, toward which we have striven these many months. The eyes of the world are upon you.”
