The goal was to liberate France -- and, eventually, all of Western Europe -- from Nazi occupation. Despite heavy resistance, 135,000 men landed in a single day, changing the course of the war and cementing the 1944 Normandy landing as the largest seaborne invasion in history. Now known colloquially as D-Day (after the military term), the Normandy landings marked the beginning of the end for the Axis powers. Allied victory was no longer a question of if, but when.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThis 1969 medallion honours the 25th anniversary of D-Day by featuring both the date (1944) and a right-facing bust of British Prime Minister Winston Churchill. It is quite large, measuring about 6.5 cm in diameter, and features deep, detailed relief.","brand":"Colonial Acres Coins","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53073060299041,"sku":"Aug.Week1.P1-KB2172","price":74.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0679\/1744\/7457\/files\/KB2172.jpg?v=1785244340","url":"https:\/\/www.colonialacres.com\/products\/augw1-kb2172","provider":"Colonial Acres Coins","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
