It was 60 years ago tomorrow that thousands of allied troops stormed the beaches of France and thus start the end of World War 2. Over 10,000 men were wounded, over 3,000 killed. It's difficult to imagine what it must of been like (except for what is shown in films like Saving Private Ryan), but the BBC has got some
great coverage of the events commemorating the landings, as well as a section on the
history of the war.
