Description:

On June 6, 1944, day known historically as D-Day or Landing in Normandy, Allied troops cross the English Channel from England and disembark on the shores of Normandy Beach in France, a place that was then under German rule . The allies, who added troops from the United Kingdom, the United States, and Canada, wanted to liberate occupied France and then continue their conquest to Germany.

The advance of the allies was very fast, and in spite of the strong German resistance, the army of Hitler was losing ground in the battle and fell before the allied offensives. In the beginning, the troops of Churchil and Roosevelt managed to dominate Saint-Lô and Caen, and then continue south, expelling the Germans. Given this, Hitler ordered several attacks and invasions, but these were quickly revoked by British and American troops. Then, in Falaise, Nazi troops were surrounded and defeated.

After many German troops withdrew, the allies arrived in Paris and released her in two days. Making the Nazi rule in France end. After this, the allied troops continued in the east to reach Germany.
