June 6, 1944 D-Day
This is the 65th anniversary of the D-Day landings on the beaches of Normandy, the last major step in the ending of World War II in Europe.
The BBC, as always, has in depth coverage with an animated map of the landings, three panoramic views of important sites, and a Q&A: D-Day piece covering major points.
The CBC covers the participation of Canadian forces, as well as the general history.
Even MSNBC managed to provide some coverage.
There was a lot of fighting left to do, but the circle was finally closing, with pressure coming from the West, as well as the Soviets in the East, and the Allied armies in Italy.
