On June 6, 2019, we honour the 75th anniversary of D-Day, when 156,000 Canadian, British and American troops landed on five beaches in Normandy, France, to liberate Europe from Nazi control. Overhead, Allied aircraft, including those from the Norwegian Squadrons of Britain’s Royal Air Force, flew missions to protect the disembarking troops. The Normandy landings are said to have been the beginning of the end of war in Europe. On this 75th anniversary, we honour all those who took part in the Battle of Normandy, and thank them for their courage and sacrifice.
