Once
upon a time,
the planning of the greatest seaborne invasion ever took place.
Four years in the preparation, Operation Overlord, the Allied invasion
of Normandy on 6 June 1944, marked the beginning of the end of World
War II and the eventual liberation of Europe.
Paths of Memory - Europe at War 1914-1945
The Twentieth Century was a century of warfare. How are these terrible events remembered today in different European countries? Do different nations remember the same events in the same way? Are there things that they would prefer to forget? Paths of Memory is a website which seeks to answer these questions. It considers how the First World War, the Spanish Civil War and the Second World War were experienced in six different European countries. The website was designed by the D-Day Museum and five partner institutions in France, Germany, Italy, Belgium and Spain.
