On June 6, 1944, Allied troops landed on the coasts of Normandy. D-Day marked the downfall of the Nazi Empire and the end of World War II.
The coasts of the French region Normandy are buried under the ruins of the German Atlantic Wall. This was supposed to protect the borders of the Third Reich from possible attacks during World War II. But the Atlantic Wall collapsed like a pudding on D-Day, the Allied landing on the shores of Normandy on 6 June 1944. The Allied attack led to the end of the Third Reich a year later.
