"That night, I thanked God for seeing me through that day of days and prayed I would make it through D plus 1. I also promised that if some way I could get home again, I would find a nice peaceful town and spend the rest of my life in peace." -Dick Winters

1/3 June 6, 1944. A massed force of American, British Canadian, Polish, Australian, Czech, French, Norwegian & Kiwi troops stormed the beaches of Normandy to liberate continental Europe from Nazi aggression. Here's some D-Day related artwork I've done over the years.

Today is of course the 76th anniversary of D-Day. War artist (and mater children's boom illustrator) Edward Ardizzone travelled with British troops as the D-Day invasion took place, sketching on the landing craft as the men prepared to hit the beach.
