In June 2025, many of us are taking part in the 30-Day “On This Date” Coach4aday Challenge. Each day, the challenge encourages participants to engage in a meaningful or enjoyable activity inspired by a historical event, anniversary, or personal memory tied to that specific date. June 6th is designated as D-Day, and my post today is the TIMELINE of the invasion.
June 6, 1944, is the date of the greatest amphibious landing in history. The Allied forces began an attack to liberate Europe from Nazi Germany. My post today will take readers to a detailed link of the timeline of that
On This Date-30 Day Challenge Guidelines
As with previous challenges, participants are encouraged to adapt the guidelines to fit their own circumstances. If you can, commit to think about the history of each day in June.
- Record something about what happened on this date. It can be an event, memory, or anniversary.
- Share with a challenge partner if you have one.
- Join the conversation by posting on social media with the hashtag #Coach4adayChallenge
June 6-D-Day Timeline
There are a number of great films about WWII, but my favorite is The Longest Day. I checked and it does not appear it will air for free on TV today but there is always streaming or renting on digital platforms like Amazon or Apple TV.
Released in 1962, The Longest Day is an epic war film that dramatizes the D‑Day landings of June 6, 1944, from the perspectives of Allied and German forces. Renowned for its large international cast and meticulous attention to historical detail, the movie became a classic depiction of World War II’s pivotal invasion. The movie gives you a sense of the complexity of the invasion.
If you want to learn more about the timeline of the invasion the National WWII Museum in New Orleans has a great link to the first 24 hours.
Just 11 months after D-Day Germany surrendered on May 7, 1945, to most of the allies and again on May 8, 1945 to Russia
