## Caption

On June 6, 1944, in an event we know as D-Day, more than 156,000 Allied troops launched an intensive assault on five beaches in Northern France — the largest invasion by sea in history — which, ultimately, led to the liberation of Paris two months later and marked a turning point in the fight against Nazi Germany.
