14. D-Day: Battle of Normandy (1944)
The Battle of Normandy began with D-Day, the largest amphibious invasion in history. Thousands of Allied troops stormed the beaches under relentless fire, braving mines, obstacles, and fierce German resistance. The operation’s sheer scale, risk, and coordination—across land, sea, and air—set a new standard for military daring. The chaos and heroism of that day are nearly impossible to capture on film.
