On June 6, 1944, D-Day marked a pivotal moment in World War II as nearly 160,000 Allied troops landed in Normandy, France, initiating Operation Overlord. This year, the 82nd anniversary was commemorated by veterans and officials, honouring those who fought to liberate Western Europe from Nazi occupation.
US Defence Secretary Pete Hegseth emphasised that Europe “must be the first to provide for its own conventional defence” during D-Day commemorations in Normandy. He urged allies, particularly France, to demonstrate commitment to strengthening their defences amid a backdrop of reducing US troop presence in Europe.
