It was one of the most important events in World War II – and one of biggest military operations of all times: On June 6th 1944, thousands of Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy to fight back Hitler's army and liberate Europe from the Nazis. 80 years later, you can visit the old battlefields, like "Omaha Beach," memorials and museums in the French region. Lukas Stege takes you there and on a deep dive into history.
