We Remember Them

77th Anniversary of D-Day

In 1944 the struggle to free Europe from Nazi Fascist occupation began on the 6th June, D-Day (writes TONY DELAHOY).

This was a bitter fight by forces from the West and forces from the East of Europe.

The Fascists fought desperately and the struggle was ferocious, massive destruction being inflicted on all peoples of Europe.

Heavy damage being inflcited everywhere, the War finally ended on 8th May 1945.

It is because so much sacrifice was made by so many for so long that ‘We Remember Them’ on this, the 77th Anniversary of D-Day.
