What is D-Day? Explain

[@smitty1108]

Growing up in the 80's there was a D-Day veteran living on our road. He had his left leg from the knee down amputated. We use to do odd jobs for him like mow & rake leaves & we always use to ask to see his medals or tells us stories which he never showed or told us. Some years after he passed away, I spoke to his daughter who told us because he was injured & back in England within a few days without firing his gun that he felt ashamed. Definition of ashamed is embarrassed or guilty because of ones actions, characteristics or associations. Saddens me that he felt that.

[@MB-fz7lx]

As a British Army veteran I am conscious that it is merely a matter of fate, timing and in some cases geography as to who were called upon to carry out this task. I could have been there, you could have been there and our loved ones could have been there. Would we have been so brave? Would we have carried out the task so well? I often wonder. Thank you to the BBC for marking this day with dignity.

We remember those who lost their lives on D Day and afterwards ensuring the freedoms we enjoy today. Their courage and sacrifice should never be forgotten. However, D Day did not change the course of the war, in that the Germans would have been beaten by the Soviet Union anyway, even if the D Day landings had never occurred or failed. The war was definitely lost for Germany by February 1943, when the battle of Stalingrad ended. The Wehrmacht never recovered from the losses of men and equipment in the battle, and from then on , apart from one setback a month or so later, the Red Army held the initiative and would never lose it.

Instead, I sat in a hotel room 27kms away and saw the highlights on the internet.

We must never forget the role the Soviet army played in making this victory, and indeed the victory over Adolf Hitler. Without the sacrifice of the soviet army, the allie´s invasion of France would have proven to be a much more costly campaign. The cemeteries that contain the remains of American soldiers who gave their lives in the cause of Freedom 80 years ago would be much larger than they already are without the similar massive sacrifice of life by the Russian people we once called friend and ally.

All those random photographers running around the old army duck certainly killed the atmosphere of the lone piper! Such a shame after all that planning !!

What’s the point of all this? People are being wiped out in Gaza now and we’re remembering something from decades ago.

RIP to the poor men who died during the Ww2, and total shame to all these hypocrits leaders and royaulties parading full of medals and suits despite having done NOTHING heroic in their lives , the veterans must be real sick to watch them. And these leaders many of them war mongers and slowly leading to world war 3 !!!!! if they don’t stop their war monging and arms escalation in ukraine s conflict, instead of settling PEACE treaty which was ready a year ago, before they stopped it sickly, so causing hundreds of thousands more killed in the front lines.

Reinactment?? Why not just wait 3 or 4 years for the real thing 🤣😋🥳🫒

They sacrificed their life for us future generations. 🫡

[@RogerMellie-yk3gw]

Not really. But something similar

[@GavinGas]

Not sure that's really correct, but they were very brave

[@htk3342]

WOW

[@formalist6096]

Were the German gravestones illuminated as well?

[@monkeyboy8424]

PM Sunak abandoned these brave men, leaving the services early to fly home and do an ITV election interview for future broadcast.
