80 Years of D-Day
The Allied landing, known as D-Day (Jour J in French), represents the first hours of Operation Neptune, itself the initial phase of Operation Overlord, intended to liberate Europe from Nazi occupation.
The Normandy landings of 6 June 1944 were a decisive turning point in World War II.
80 years later the Normandy landings, the Paris Mint makes a tribute poignant to the nations and men who participated in the liberation of France and Europe.
