Your Shortcut to... The 80th anniversary of D-Day
In this Squiz Shortcut, we'll get into what happened on D-Day - the dangerous and bloody event that changed the course of WWII. The 6th of June is the anniversary of the Allies' D-Day invasion of Normandy, France - and it’s a big one this year, being the 80th anniversary of that momentous day.
Squiz recommends:
Watching: The Darkest Hour - a big film from 2017 about Churchill and those dark days of 1940 when Germany was storming through Europe to take France.
More watching: The Tom Hanks film on Apple+, Greyhound. It's about a US convoy commander getting supplies from the US to Britain across the Atlantic, fighting off the Nazi U-Boats in 1942.
