Remembering D-Day - Tomorrow June 6

On June 6, 1944, some 7,000 naval vessels, including battleships, destroyers and assault craft, attacked German positions on the Normandy coast and landed more than 132,000 ground troops on the beaches.

Historians view the D-Day invasion as “the beginning of the end of the war” and stress that it was an international effort. The fighting in Normandy went on for another month.

John Jenkins, 99, was with the Royal Pioneer Corps when he landed at Gold Beach. He recalled digging holes in the ground to get a few hours of sleep and being ever fearful of treading on mines. Asked about the fear, he told The Post, “You didn’t show it, but you felt it.”

He said that “young people today need to know what happened, because if it didn’t happen, they’d all be wearing swastikas today.”

Some of the hardest fighting on D-Day was done by American troops at Omaha beach, where approximately 2,000 U.S. soldiers died. An additional 238 U.S. airborne troops were killed dropping into enemy territory behind the landing beaches.
