Today marks the 80th anniversary of D-Day, when Allied forces landed some 156,000 soldiers on the beaches of Normandy on #ThisDayInHistory in 1944. D-Day was the largest amphibious invasion in history and by the end of August 1944, most of Northern France had been liberated. Historians often refer to D-Day as the beginning of the end of World War II. Tonight, relive the Allied invasion through the voices and words of those who were there, from all sides. D-Day: The Unheard Tapes premieres tonight at 8/7c. #DDayUnheardTapes
