D-Day Observed
D-Day is observed every June 6th. On this day in 1944 about 160,000
Allied troops landed on the beaches of Normandy, France, to fight Nazi
soldiers. General Dwight D. Eisenhower called the operation a crusade
in which, “we will accept nothing less than full victory”. More than 5,000
ships and 13,000 aircraft supported the D-Day invasion, and by the end
of the day, the troops gained a foot-hold in Normandy. Thousands of soldiers lost their lives, but thousands
more trekked across Europe to end the war. The invasion is one of history’s most significant military attacks and
marked the beginning of the end of World War II.
The library carries a collection of fiction and nonfiction books, eBooks, audiobooks, and DVDs that recount the
invasion of Normandy. eBooks are available for download by searching the title in Destiny and following the
appropriate link. Please referrer to “Using GCCL Online” at http://www.grovecitypalibrary.org/usinggcclonline1.pdf
for instructions on how to access eBooks and download eBooks. If you need assistance locating or accessing
any of these titles, please ask a staff member for assistance. They will be happy to help!
