Discover the Stories of D-Day through the Museum’s Collection

For over two and a half years the Allies planned and gathered their military strength to hurl into the decisive amphibious invasion of northern France and strike a mortal blow against the empire of Nazi Germany. In anticipation, Adolf Hitler stockpiled reserves into the Atlantic Wall defenses across French coastlines, determined to drive the Allied forces back into the sea.

There will be no second chance for the Allies: the fate of their cause hangs upon this decisive day.

Today, the world comes together to commemorate the 70th Anniversary of the Normandy invasion. In addition to hosting two days of events to honor, educate and reflect on the invasion that paved the way to the Allied Victory in Europe, The National WWII Museum has created a comprehensive microsite, including a timeline that tells the story of D-Day through the words and eyes of those who were there — all from our collection.

We invite you to take a moment today to explore our site and to remember the men who fought and died on those beaches.
