Day 4 Trying To Do Shading And Shadowing

D-day timeline on june 6, 1944, western allied forces launched operation overlord, the massive allied invasion of normandy, france, to liberate nazi-occupied europe. D-day initially set for june 5, d-day was delayed due to poor weather. With a small window of opportunity in the weather, eisenhower decided to go—d-day would be june 6, 1944.

Truman designated may 8 as v-e day and most of the western allies followed suit. The soviets, however, designated may 9 as v-e day or soviet. Dedicated in 2000 as the national d-day museum and now designated by congress as america’s national wwii museum, the institution celebrates the american spirit, teamwork, optimism, courage.

The day after liberation, the extraordinary soviet state commission for the investigation of the crimes of the german-fascist aggressors began their investigation into the crimes committed at auschwitz. The next day, august 9, the red army invaded manchuria, and a second atomic bomb hit nagasaki.
