Military historian and president of the Pritzker Military Museum Library Dr. Rob Havers shares insights into Winston Churchill’s wartime leadership and legacy.
The Normandy landings (D-Day) were a resounding success for the Allies. Code named Operation Overlord, D-Day (6 June 1944) was the largest seaborne invasion in history and marked the beginning of the campaign to liberate north-west Europe from German occupation.
