The History Channel remembers the 60th anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, D-Day, that historic day on June 6, 1944, when the Allies stormed the shores of Normandy in occupied France with a huge military force, changing the face of World War II. The brilliant strategic move initiated by General Eisenhower and his deputy, Field Marshal Montgomery, completely surprised the Germans, who were expecting the Allies near Calais, on the shores of the narrow part of the English Channel, the sea border between Britain and France. To this day it is considered the largest naval invasion in history.
