INVASION OF NORMANDY WAR II COMMEMORATIVE COIN PROOF
On 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.
During the coordinated attack known as "Operation Overlord," Allied Forces suffered nearly 10,000 casualties with more than 4,000 dead.
Yet, due to the valor and sacrifice of the men who charged into the wall of bullets,
the beaches were secured and the Allies began their march across Europe and on to victory in World War II.
